The Los Angeles Kings are a team that has had a lot of issues on the year, but those issues were well known for the Kings this year. That would definitely explain why the Kings win over the Jets on Saturday was a little bit of a surprise for the fans. The win did not lift the Kings out of the basement and only increased them to an 11-14-2 record on the year.

The offense for the Kings has been fairly weak on the year with only 2.62 goals a game being scored. The power play conversion is horrible at 11.8% and the penalty kill is not that great either at 74.7% on the season. When it comes to the goals against per game the Kings are giving up 3.38 goals a game.

Anaheim went from being near the top of the Pacific to only being 2 points over the Kings in the standings. In the Duck last game the Ducks were completely blanked in the game by the Winnipeg Jets. The Ducks lost the game 3-0 and oddly the Ducks defense is starting to have a lot of problems in producing the wins on the year.

This season the Ducks offense is only scoring 2.63 goals a game and the power play is converting at a clip of only 10%. The Ducks defense has slipped quite a bit and is now giving up 3 goals a game, but the penalty kill for the Ducks is sitting at a 76.7% of the penalties being killed off.

The Ducks are having a lot of problems lately. The offense is not scoring and the defense is getting put under more and more pressure each game. Look for the pressure to be a problem in this game again for the Ducks as the Kings are able to sneak out of Anaheim with a win. Final Score Prediction, Los Angeles Kings win 3-2.
