Storyline
A nice mix of individual motivation meeting team motivation. Defenseman Dan Hamhuis will play in his 1,000th career regular season game, and he and his teammates should be fired up to get a win in this game. Also, the team is coming back from the All-Star break and wants to bounce back from a 4-1 loss to Toronto last week.
Key matchup
Anze Kopitar vs. John Klingberg: Kopitar has been a finalist for the Selke Trophy three times and won it once, but he's showing off his offensive ability this season with 51 points (19 goals, 32 assists) in 49 games (15th in the NHL).
