Head coach Jim Hiller and the Los Angeles Kings (14-9-9) have struggled to find much success in the win column in the West in this past couple of weeks in the standings. Injuries and offensive struggles on special teams have hampered the Kings this fall early in the regular season.
The Kings lost starting goalie Darcy Kuemper due to an upper-body injury collision against the Dallas Stars earlier this week on Monday night (Dec. 15) in the opening frame in the first period. Kuemper has been playing at a Vezina Trophy-caliber level for the Kings this season in the West.
Hiller and the Kings are expected to make a few changes to the active roster lineup tonight on the road in the second game in this short three-game road trip in the East late this week against the Florida Panthers (17-13-2) and head coach Paul Maurice in Sunrise, FL.
This is the second and last matchup between these two teams in the series this regular season in the 25-26 campaign.
Here's a look at the TV/streaming information, start time, and radio broadcast information for the matchup between the Kings and Panthers on the road at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, FL, on Dec. 17.
