A trip is set on tap against one of the top teams in the Eastern Conference in the league late this weekend vs. the Carolina Hurricanes (33-15-6) from the Metro for Jim Hiller and the Los Angeles Kings (23-17-13) on the road on Sunday afternoon (Feb. 1) in the back stretch of back-to-back matchups.
The Kings faced adversity and a familiar trend in the West this regular season in this past few months in the Pacific Division on Saturday vs. the Philadelphia Flyers on the road yesterday.

There aren't many changes expected for Hiller and the Kings in the active roster lineup today vs. the Hurricanes in Carolina. Anton Forsberg is expected to get the start vs. Carolina in the back end of back-to-back games for the Kings and Hiller this afternoon.
