Winless in the Golden State this season, the Habs are coming off a pair of one-goal losses to the Ducks and Sharks. On Friday in San Jose, Artturi Lehkonen was the lone goalscorer in a 2-1 loss at the SAP Center. Carey Price made 28 saves in the effort.
Alexander Radulov meanwhile, left Friday's game after taking a high stick to the face, but should be in uniform on Sunday.
The STAPLES Center hasn't been welcoming to the Habs, as Montreal is winless in its last three visits, while the Kings boast a 9-3-0 home record this season.
Darryl Sutter's men are currently enjoying their most successful streak of the current campaign, winning six of their last seven, including Thursday's 4-3 decision against Arizona.
After coming off the bench in relief of Peter Budaj against the Coyotes, goaltender Jeff Zatkoff could get the start against the Habs on Sunday, while Price -- with a 5-1-0 career record against the Kings -- should be in goal for Montreal.
Sunday marks the final meeting between Montreal and LA this season. The Habs won 4-1 at home on November 10.
