An important game on home ice to start a quick three-game homestand comes for the Los Angeles Kings (19-15-10) and head coach Jim Hiller against one of the top teams in the Western Conference in the standings vs. the Dallas Stars (26-10-9) on Monday night (Jan. 12). The Kings are coming off a big 4-3 shootout win in the back end of back-to-back games this past weekend against the Edmonton Oilers on the road north of the border in Canada in the Pacific Division on Jan. 10.
Last Saturday's win over the Oilers was a microcosm of the Kings' season in the West in this past few months so far. The Kings lost a winnable game in the front end of back-to-back games on Friday night on the road vs. the last-place Winnipeg Jets.
The upcoming schedule this upcoming week for the Kings in the West won't get any easier on home ice in the next few days. The Kings have four games in the next six days, most of which comes against teams in the West in the playoff picture in the postseason this regular season.
