Los Angeles Kings News & Notes

Los Angeles comes into Nashville 2nd in the Pacific Division, three points behind the Vegas Golden Knights. This game against the Predators is a should-win game to bank points.

Nashville Predators News & Notes

Nashville made plenty of additions this offseason that haven’t worked out as intended, and Barry Trotz isn’t waiting to make more changes. Fresh off the Alexandre Carrier trade, Nashville is rumored to be looking to add a top-six scoring presence after the roster freeze.

Fiala-Danault-Laferriere

Foegele-Byfield-Jeannot

Players To Watch:

Los Angeles Kings

Adrian Kempe has 16 goals so far this season and touts a 17.8 Shooting %.

Nashville Predators

All things considered, Filip Forsberg has had a down year. However, in his last 5 games, he’s put up 7 points. I’m looking for Forsberg to get the hot hand and start scoring like the Preds are used to.
