Los Angeles Kings @ Utah Hockey Club Preview
The Los Angeles Kings (42-23-9) are in second place in the Pacific Division and are looking to solidify their playoff position. They are coming off a dominant 4-1 victory over the Winnipeg Jets, with standout performances from Adrian Kempe, Anze Kopitar, and Darcy Kuemper, who made 19 saves. The Kings boast one of the league's best defenses, ranking third in goals against per game (2.56) and second in shots against per game (25.6). However, their road record of 14-19-5 raises concerns about their consistency away from home.
The Utah Hockey Club (34-29-12) are clinging to their playoff hopes, sitting eight points out of the final wild card spot. They are riding a two-game winning streak, including a 3-1 victory over the Calgary Flames. Clayton Keller leads the team with 80 points, while Karel Vejmelka has been solid in goal, posting a 2.56 GAA and a .905 save percentage. Utah has been strong at home recently, winning three of their last four games at the Delta Center.
