A game that could be season-defining in the West this regular season in the Pacific Division for the Los Angeles Kings (25-23-14) and new interim head coach DJ Smith comes early this week on Monday afternoon (March 9) on the road in the Eastern Conference today. Smith and the Kings are still just a few points in the standings within striking distance of a spot in the postseason for the playoffs this upcoming spring in the West this regular season.
The Kings travel to Ohio in the Midwest early this week on Monday afternoon to face the Columbus Blue Jackets (32-21-9) after LA let a third-period lead on the scoreboard slip away from them on the ice vs. the Montreal Canadiens this past weekend on home ice at Crypto.com Arena.
This afternoon's game on Monday vs. the Blue Jackets on the road in Columbus also begins the front end of back-to-back games for Smith and the Kings and a five-game road trip in the East, where the team needs to show more consistency with Darcy Kuemper and Anton Forsberg in net early this upcoming week.
Here's a look at the TV/streaming information, start time, and radio broadcast information for the matchup between the Kings and Blue Jackets in the postponed game from a couple of months ago on the road at Nationwide Arena in Columbus, OH, on March 9.
