Florida will be playing in the second game of back to back games here. The first game is against the Ducks in the game and will be a challenge, but one that the Panthers should be able to handle. The Panthers are coming into the game here with a 31-22-6 record on the year and have a chance of catching up to Toronto to help lock down a playoff berth.

This season the Panthers have ended up scoring at a clip of 3.44 goals a game. The Panthers have ended up giving up 3.36 goals a game on the year so far. The power play for Florida has converted at 21.5% on the season. The penalty kill for Florida has killed off 77.4% of the power plays on the year.

The Kings are heading into the game here after losing their last game on the ice by a 6-3 score to the Winnipeg Jets. The loss actually dropped the Kings to a 21-34-5 record on the year so far and that is only good enough to be sitting in last place in the Pacific Division.

When it comes to scoring on the year the Kings have ended up getting only 2.46 goals a game. The defense for Los Angeles has allowed a dismal 3.14 goals a game on the year. The Kings have ended up converting on the power play at 16.5% on the year and the penalty kill for the Kings are doing so-so at 75.6% on the year.

The Kings are playing decent on the season, but the Kings are having trouble scoring on the year. The Panthers have done decent offensively, but for the Panthers the defense has been questionable at times and oddly are giving up more goals per game than the Kings. Look for the Kings offense, though, to finally come to life in this game and that helps the Kings in getting the win locked down in the game. Final Score Prediction, Los Angeles Kings win 4-3.
