A quest to get back firmly in the playoff picture in the postseason in the standings in the West is on the line on Friday night (Jan. 16) for the Los Angeles Kings (19-16-11) and Jim Hiller against Joel Quenneville and the Anaheim Ducks (22-21-3) in the Pacific Division. The Kings and Ducks will don the color rush uniforms tonight at Crypto Arena for a big division battle on home ice this weekend.
These two teams will face each other in back-to-back games in the Pacific Division in a home-and-home series tonight and tomorrow this weekend in Southern California.
The Kings and Hiller got some positive news on the injury front late this week and going into this upcoming weekend, with the likely return of forward Joel Armia to the active roster lineup vs. the Ducks tonight.
