[4:00 PM] Devils @ Kings

Who will WIN this matchup?

New Jersey Devils (9-4-3)

@ Los Angeles Kings (8-9-1)

 

Starting Goalies:

Cory Schneider (NJ): Unconfirmed

Peter Budaj (LAK): Unconfirmed

 

• The Kings scored only five goals while dropping four straight away from home, but nearly matched that total with a 4-2 win over visiting Edmonton on Thursday.

• New Jersey will be making the third stop on a four-game road trip after its five-game winning streak was snapped in a 3-2 setback at Anaheim on Thursday. The Devils have won four of their last five against the Kings, including their last three in Los Angeles.

• With Taylor Hall out at least three weeks and fellow forward Michael Cammalleri not with the team due to personal reasons, New Jersey needs to find more scoring. Devante Smith-Pelly ended a five-game point drought with his second goal in Thursday’s loss to Anaheim.

• Peter Budaj has been an ironman in net, starting 14 of 15 games since Jonathan Quick and Jeff Zatkoff suffered early-season injuries.

• New Jersey’s power play is 0-for-24 on the power play in the last seven games.
