Overview
- Los Angeles opens a two-game trip at Utah on Monday before visiting Seattle on Wednesday.
- Utah will be without leading scorer Logan Cooley indefinitely after a lower-body injury, and the Mammoth’s recent results have swung from a 7-0 win over Anaheim to a 2-0 loss in Calgary.
- Darcy Kuemper logged a 23-save shutout against Chicago, his 38th in the NHL and 10th with the Kings, tying Stephane Fiset and Kelly Hrudey for fifth-most shutouts in franchise history.
- Andrei Kuzmenko snapped a slump with a late-second-period power-play goal that coach Jim Hiller said loosened the team as it added four goals in the next 13 minutes.
- The Kings carry a 9-2-4 road mark and look to extend momentum from a six-goal outburst that featured two goals by defenseman Brandt Clarke.
