Montreal Canadiens @ Los Angeles Kings Preview
The Montreal Canadiens (25-23-5) are coming off a hard-fought 4-3 victory over the San Jose Sharks last night, ending a five-game losing streak. However, playing on the second night of a back-to-back could leave them fatigued against a Los Angeles Kings (27-17-6) team that has been strong at home with a 15-3-1 record. The Kings are coming off a 4-2 win over the Carolina Hurricanes, where Kevin Fiala scored twice, breaking a streak of seven games with two or fewer goals scored.
Montreal will need to overcome their struggles against Los Angeles, as the Kings have won the last seven meetings between these teams. The Canadiens have not scored more than two goals in any of those games, and the Kings' defensive system, which ranks fifth in the league in goals allowed per game (2.52), has been a significant challenge for them.
Historic Head-to-Head Stats and Analysis
