After the next 48 hours late this week for Jim Hiller and the Los Angeles Kings (24-17-14), the team will have a break for the next three weeks in mid-to-late February this month for the Winter Olympics in Italy in the next few weeks. There is business to focus on for Hiller and the Kings before the Winter Olympic break this upcoming week in the West, with four points in the standings in the West on the line in the next 24-hours hours for LA.
This comes after the breaking news that the Kings and new general manager traded for star forward Artemi Panarin from the New York Rangers before the roster freeze in the league in the NHL earlier today on Feb. 4.
On Wednesay night on home ice, the Kings and goalie Darcy Kuemper host the Seattle Kraken (26-20-9) in the Pacific Division in the West. The Kings come into tonight in the standings in the West in the Pacific Division back just four points from first place.
