5️⃣ Things To Know For Tonight's Game

1. The Kings have had a disappointing homestand, with two wins from their first six games, but they have a chance this evening to close it out with a victory, as they host the Calgary Flames in a Saturday-evening showdown. 

2. The Kings welcomed forward Kevin Fiala back to the lineup last time out, after the Swiss-born winger missed 46 consecutive games due to injury between the regular season and playoffs. Fiala collected an assist in his return to action while logging 16:37 in total time on ice. Fiala's assist was the 300th of his NHL career, as he became the first forward from Switzerland to reach that milestone. 

3. Fiala's assist came on a power-play goal scored by forward Quinton Byfield, which extended a strong run from that unit. The Kings have scored eight power-play goals in six games on this homestand, operating at 33.3 percent, tied for the NHL's third-best mark during that span. Overall, the Kings are up to 13th in the NHL at 22.8 percent for the season. 

4. Goaltender Anton Forsberg appears set to get the start this evening to close out the homestand. Forsberg has posted solid individual splits this season, with a .907 save percentage and a 2.44 goals-against average, but has a record of 0-5-1, with the Kings scoring only 10 goals in his seven appearances, including the first shutout of the season in his last start versus Nashville.

5. Prior to tonight's game, the Kings will hold a ceremony in recognition of goaltender Darcy Kuemper, who played in his 500th career game in the NHL on Thursday. Kuemper is the 87th goaltender in NHL history to reach that milestone, with 130 of those games coming as a member of the Kings.
