5️⃣ Things To Know For Today's Game

1. The Kings return home tonight to begin a three-game homestand and a stretch of five-straight games in Southern California, as they host the Dallas Stars at Crypto.com Arena.
2. Kings forward Corey Perry returned to the lineup on Saturday in Edmonton after he missed two games to attend to an illness in his family. Perry scored a power-play goal against the Oilers, his former team, as he became the fourth Kings player this season to reach double-digits in goals.
3. Perry's goal was the sixth power-play goal the Kings have scored over their last eight games since returning from the NHL's holiday break, tied for the seventh most in the NHL in that span. Perry has scored three of the six goals, tied for the second-most by any player since the break, while his five power-play points are one shy of the league lead.
4. Forward Alex Laferriere has found the back of the net in two of his last three games, scoring in the third period against Edmonton and San Jose. Laferriere has seven points (3-4-7) from eight games played since the holiday break, tied for the team lead. All seven of his points have come at even strength, the most on the Kings in that span.
5. Look for goaltender Darcy Kuemper to be back in goal today for the Kings. Kuemper has 10 career wins against the Stars, tied for his fourth-most against any one opponent, and he brings a .912 lifetime save percentage versus Dallas into tonight's action.
