The Los Angeles Kings are battling with the Anaheim Ducks to see who will end up sitting in last place in the Pacific. The Kings were able to put the Ducks in the position after their last game which was a 2-0 loss, but the game before was a win for the Kings and moved them over the Ducks. The Kings have an 18-25-4 record on the year.

The Kings offense has been horrible on the year scoring only 2.51 goals per game. The defense for the Kings has allowed a total of 3.09 goals a game. When it comes to the power play the Kings have ended up converting at a clip of 15.1% on the season and have ended up killing off 75% of the power plays.

Tampa Bay ended up having their winning streak finally snapped. The team that broke the winning streak was a shocker as the Devils beat the Tampa Bay team. The Lightning were able to find themselves sitting in second place with a 27-14-4 record and with a total of 58 points on the year.

Scoring for the Lightning has been very impressive on the year with 3.64 goals a game. The Lightning defense has allowed only 2.89 goals a game. The power play has been able to convert at a clip of 28.2% on the year, but the defense has killed off 83% of the power plays this year.

    The Lightning are coming into the game here with a good offense, but the Kings are a team that can play defense at times on the year and that could help them out quite a bit in the game here. The downside is the Lightning are very difficult to beat at home and that is where this game is being played. Look for the Kings to struggle against a revitalized Lightning defense in this game here. Final Score Prediction, Tampa Bay Lightning win 4-1.
