Los Angeles Kings News & Notes:

Los Angeles is third in the Pacific Division and has a five point gap on the Vancouver Canucks. The Kings have been rumored to be interested in making some big moves ahead of the trade deadline with one insider floating Byfield as a possible trap chip to improve the roster in the short-term.

Dallas Stars News & Notes:

Dallas is in the middle of trade speculation with Seth Jones in Chicago. While the player would help immediately, it could become another long term anchor on their team. Dallas is in a comfortable playoff position with plenty of assets and cap space to make additions.
