The Los Angeles Kings (17-14-9) need some stability in the standings in the West in the Pacific Division this upcoming week, which comes after head coach Jim Hiller's squad defeated the Minnesota Wild (25-10-8) 5-4 in a shootout thriller this past weekend on Jan. 3. Hiller and the Kings picked up two valuable points in the standings in the West last weekend with the one-goal shootout win vs. Minnesota on home ice at Crypto Arena.
Los Angeles Kings can get two more crucial points in the standings vs. Minnesota on Monday night on home ice
Since Hiller and the Kings currently sit outside of the top three teams in the Pacific Division standings in the West this regular season, it is important that LA picks up all points it possibly can this month before the break for the Winter Olympics in Italy.
The Kings face the Wild again on Monday night (Jan. 5) after defenseman Brandt Clarke scored the game-winning goal in the shootout on Saturday evening at Crypto Arena this past weekend.
Here's a look at the TV/streaming information, start time, and radio broadcast information for the matchup between the Kings and Wild in the second of two straight games at home vs. Minnesota at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, CA, on Jan. 5.
