A game that could be the most challenging contest the Los Angeles Kings (16-12-9) and head coach Jim Hiller play this regular season in the West is ahead tonight against the Colorado Avalanche (28-2-7) and head coach Jared Bednar.
Los Angeles Kings look for a barometer test tonight on the road in Denver vs. Colorado
Superstar forward Nathan MacKinnon and the Avalanche have a record of 15-0-2 on home ice at Ball Arena in Denver this regular season in the 2025-26 campaign. Despite the Kings doing better on the road this regular season in the West than compared to on home ice at Crypto Arena, this is still a massive challenge for this team on Monday night early this week.
Tonight's game will be a giant test on the road in the West this regular season for the Kings to see how Hiller's squad can compete against the best competition from the conference late this month in late December.
Following a hat trick from forward Alex Laferriere, the Kings and Hiller are looking to build momentum after the best performance of this regular season offensively scoring the puck a couple of days ago this past weekend in a 6-1 win on home ice over the Anaheim Ducks in the Pacific Division.
