OPENING NIGHT: Tonight marks the first of five meetings with the San Jose Sharks this season. The Kings will start the season with six straight home games at STAPLES Center, the most home games they’ve started any respective regular season with since the 1993-’94 campaign. We’re just seven months shy of the Kings’ previous game played, when they defeated the Sharks 4-1 at STAPLES Center to close out the 2014-’15 season.
CRACKIN’ A TREND: The Kings have dropped their three previous home openers, and have lost five of their last six.
