Command Analysis
Ottawa sit bottom of the table in the East with a total of 21 points.

In many previous matches, D. J. Smith's charges conceded no more than two goals, but on average, this season they allow about three goals per game. All of Ottawa's home games ended in regulation.
Los Angeles are in 5th place in the Western Conference table. They are a bit inconsistent, for instance, they lost two home games in a row, and after a victory over Arizona (5:3), they were defeated by Carolina (2:4). The Kings are looking forward to the return of Alex Iafallo, who is almost fully recovered from his injury. Todd MacLelland's men aren't very successful on road trips - they won only four away games in regulation this season.
