Having won the first meeting on the road, Los Angeles holds the advantage back at home this time. The Kings crushed the Canucks last game and will look to build on that today. Playing better, they're now 7-4 under their new coach. New Jersey has had injury problems throughout the year. The Devils haven't been consistent whatsoever.

LA's Drew Doughty on the win over Vancouver: "We played great right from the puck drop. I was so proud and so happy with our team's performance tonight. Every single player played well. There wasn't one dog out there and that's why we won."

Even while having 55 shots on the goal, the Devils lost to the Ducks in their last game. That should take some confidence away from a team that is already lacking that aspect. The Kings are back at home, where they look to improve as we near the end of the season. New Jersey is 2-5 in their last seven games played away from home. Los Angeles wins this game today and makes it 2-0 in the season series.
