Getting points in the standings in the West in the Pacific Division will be critical this upcoming weekend in back-to-back games in a home-and-home series for the color rush for the Los Angeles Kings (19-16-11) and Jim Hiller against the Anaheim Ducks (22-21-3).
The Kings open up the home-and-home series in back-to-back games vs. the Ducks in the Pacific Division in the West this upcoming weekend on Friday night (Jan. 16) on home ice.
