Los Angeles has been in great shape for a long time, and the winning streak has reached four matches in a row. What is especially noteworthy is that all the meetings ended in regular time, and in two matches the Kings did not leave any chance to their competitors at all, defeating Carolina and Boston with a similar score of 7:2. Nevertheless, the series of successful performances was interrupted by a visit to Colorado, where there were huge problems with both creating and implementing attacking chances. Of the 22 shots, none reached the target and had to give up dry (0:4). Goalkeeper Rittich also did not perform well, reflecting only 84% of shots.
Returning to their home arena, the kings were unable to rehabilitate themselves in front of the fans. The team hosted Toronto and put a lot of pressure on the Maple Leafs throughout the match, but the accuracy of the shots left much to be desired. As a result, it was not possible to break through the goalkeeper of the leaves, which led to a defeat (1:3).

Many people were surprised by the match with Toronto, in which the sharks showed a very active and effective offensive game, which allowed them to gain the upper hand in the shootout (6:5). Striker Toffoli made a huge contribution to the success, scoring a double and giving an assist.

It is hard to believe that San Jose is able to give a worthy rebuff to the clear favorite in the upcoming match. The team even had a hard time earning points at home, but mostly suffered defeats.
