The Kings are trying to hold off the Avalanche for the first wild-card spot in the West. They are in a great spot to succeed.

LA has been idle since losing a 2-1 road game to the Ducks this past Friday.

The Avalanche carries a much higher fatigue rating in action for the third time in four days and second time in two days after suffering a tough 4-3 overtime road loss to the Ducks last night.

Colorado relies on its power play unit a lot. However, the Kings have the highest percentage rating of killing penalties. They haven't allowed a power play goal during their last eight games spanning 20 power play attempts.

The Avalanche has lost in five of their last six visits to LA.
