Team Records:
Kings: 4 - 5 - 1 (9 pts)
Devils: 4 - 3 - 1 (9 pts)
Kings Notes:
The Kings came from behind to win after trailing during the third period in back-to-back games, with victories over St. Louis on Wednesday and Buffalo on Sunday. It is the 19th time in franchise history they have accomplished this feat and they have never done so in three consecutive games
Forward Alex Iafallo enters tonight's action with points in four consecutive games, while defenseman Kale Clague has collected a point in three straight, each game he's played this season.
Devils Notes:
New Jersey activated goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood from injured reserve on Tuesday. Blackwood, the team's starting goaltender last season, has yet to appear in a game during the 2021-22 campaign.
Despite their 4-3-1 start to the season, the Devils rank eighth of eight teams in the Metropolitan Division. That division is the only one in the NHL that has all eight teams over the .500 mark at this stage in the season.
Who to Watch:
Keep an eye on forward Arthur Kaliyev this evening, who appears set to feature on the top line alongside Anze Kopitar and Dustin Brown. Kaliyev got the Kings on the board in the third period on Wednesday, and also tallied in the shootout, during the 3-2 comeback win.
