The Kings will kick off the week with a battle against the Vancouver Canucks, a team who always seems to give L.A. a good game. It will be the 2nd of 5 meetings between the teams this year after the Canucks blanked the Kings at Staples Center back on October 13. In that game, Vancouver defenseman Alex Edler scored a goal and an assist as L.A. only threw 15 shots on Ryan Miller, who stopped them all. The loss was the Kings’ last before they embarked on a 7-game win streak.
The Canucks, who are 2-7 in their previous 9 games, head to L.
