After a sub-par start to the 2015 NHL campaign, the Los Angeles Kings have been red-hot to say the least and will look to continue that momentum Saturday at home against the Florida Panthers. The Kings fell to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Thursday which was just their second loss in the last 10 games.
- The home team is 6-1 in the last 7 meetings.
- The Panthers are 2-10 in their last 12 against the Kings.
- The UNDER is 5-1-1 in the last 7 meetings.
The Staples Center has been far from friendly territory for the Panthers according to recent history. Florida has dropped six in a row against the Kings in California. Kings netminder Jonathan Quick is 5-2-0 with a 1.93 goals against average in seven career starts versus the Panthers.
Florida will be looking to halt a four game losing skid (0-2-2) that's seen them muster up just six goals in total during that span.
