The Los Angeles Kings have had a lot problems winning on the year and are sitting in dead last in the Pacific Division. The Kings have ended up with a 13-18-2 record on the year. The last game on the ice for the Kings was a 2-1 win over the Ducks.  

When it comes to scoring the Kings were able to get a total of 2.48 goals a game. The Kings have converted on the power play at 13.1% on the year. The penalty kill has been able to kill off 73.3% of the opponents power plays. When it comes to the defense the Kings have allowed 3.15 goals a game.  

Pittsburgh was pushed to the limits in their last game on the ice by the Blue Jackets. The Penguins ended up getting pushed to overtime before winning over the Blue Jackets by a 1-0 score. The win allowed the Penguins to move to 3rd in the Metro with an 18-10-4 record on the year.

Scoring for the Penguins has been done at a clip of 3.25 goals a game and have converted at a rate of`16.5% on the year. Defensively the Penguins have allowed 2.66 goals a game on the year and killed off 81.2% of the power plays faced on the year.

    The Kings are playing on the road which is a problem, but the other problem the Kings have is an offense that is far from impressive on the season. Look for both of those factors to contribute to the loss here in the game as the Penguins have a decent offense in the game here and completely shut down the Kings offense for back to back wins. Final Score Prediction, Pittsburgh Penguins win 4-0.
