The Kings, outscored 21-5 in the four losses, look to avoid their worst start since 1985-86, when they were 1-8-0 through nine games.
The Stars will attempt to avoid a four-game losing streak, having been outscored 10-2 in three defeats after beginning the season 3-1-0.
Forward Alexander Radulov will miss his second straight game with a lower-body injury. Stars coach Jim Montgomery said he may decide to dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen.
Dallas' top line of Radulov, Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin has combined for one assist in the past three games after combining for 27 points (11 goals, 16 assists) in the Stars' first four games.
