In this matchup between the Los Angeles Kings and the Columbus Blue Jackets, both clubs are seeking to rebound after shaky beginnings to the year. The Blue Jackets have a 9-15-2 record and are in last place in the Metropolitan Division, while the Kings have a 15-11-4 record and are in the center of the Pacific Division. The forthcoming game appears to be a nice one because both teams want to recover from shaky starts to the season and gain ground in their respective divisions.
With an offense averaging 3.31 goals per game this season, the Kings have shown promise. The top line is led by Kevin Fiala and Anze Kopitar, who have combined for 16 goals and 38 assists, but the rest of the attack has also contributed. 27 goals and 32 assists have been scored by Viktor Arvidsson, Gabriel Vilardi, and Phillip Danault collectively, while Sean Durzi and Drew Doughty have added 5 goals and 30 assists from the point to help the attack get going.
The Blue Jackets offense is underperforming, averaging just 2.85 goals per game, and they are having a terrible season. Although the top two lines of Johnny Gaudreau, Boone Jenner, Kent Johnson, Gustav Nyquist, and Yegor Chinakhov have combined for 18 goals and 30 assists, the rest of the offense has struggled. Only six skaters have added seven assists or more, and only four skaters have seven goals or more, making it possible for opposition teams to shut down the top-heavy offense.
