NHL Clash: Los Angeles Kings vs. Chicago Blackhawks in Fight for Division Leadership

Thursday, March 14th, 2024

On Friday at 8:30 p.m. EDT, the Los Angeles Kings, holding a record of 33 wins, 21 losses, and 11 ties, are scheduled to compete against the Chicago Blackhawks, who have 18 wins, 43 losses, and 5 ties, in Chicago.

The Blackhawks recently triumphed with a 7-2 win against Anaheim, a game highlighted by Philipp Kurashev's two goals. Despite having a modest home record of 13 wins, 17 losses, and 4 ties, Chicago tends to underperform when they incur more penalties than their opponents, demonstrated by a 4-17-1 record in such situations.

On the other hand, the Kings have enjoyed success on the road with a 19-10-4 record and have amassed a scoring differential of +27. Key players include Connor Bedard for Chicago and Kevin Fiala for Los Angeles, both making significant contributions to their respective teams.

This matchup marks the first occasion these teams have faced each other in the current season. Chicago will be without Taylor Hall and Connor Murphy due to injuries, and Los Angeles will be missing Pheonix Copley, Carl Grundstrom, and Viktor Arvidsson for the same reason.
