The Kings are coming off a dramatic overtime victory over the Winnipeg Jets on a goal from Jeff Carter, who extended his league lead in game winning goals with 8.
The Kings are now 5-2-0 in their last 7 games, and are 3-2-0 on this homestand that ends on January 18 against the San Jose Sharks.
Once this run at Staples Center concludes, the Kings will embark on a 5 game road trip, and play 9 out of their next 10 games on the road.
It’s slightly disconcerting, because of how much better the Kings have played at home this year compared to on the road.
