Overview

• The Los Angeles Kings, currently on a three-game winning streak, are set to face the Anaheim Ducks, who are on a four-game losing streak.
• The Kings have lifted themselves up the divisional standings, sitting on 25 points through 17 games, trailing only the Vegas Golden Knights and Vancouver Canucks.
• Much of the Kings' success has been attributed to their road prowess and ability to hinder powerful power play units across the league.
• The Ducks have struggled to win close games despite their early-season success coming in tight contests and have taken the most individual penalties of any team in the NHL with 107.
• Young players like 20-year-old Mason McTavish and 18-year-old Leo Carlson continue to give the Ducks a chance each night, with McTavish leading the team with 10 goals and 20 points.
