Boston Bruins vs Los Angeles Kings team news
Boston Bruins team news & key players
After a tense contract negotiation with star goalie Jeremy Swayman, the Bruins successfully re-signed him, and he proved his worth in Boston's opening win over the Montreal Canadiens. He’s just one of many key pieces in Boston’s lineup, alongside standout forwards David Pastrnak and Brad Marchand, plus their rock on defense, Charlie McAvoy. Depth on the blue line is an area of concern for the Kings, especially with Drew Doughty sidelined, which could be an issue against Boston's potent offense, which has already produced 10 goals in two games.
Los Angeles Kings team news & key players
The Los Angeles Kings kicked off their season with a win over the Sabres and are set to face the Senators and Maple Leafs next. Offensively, Los Angeles is averaging three goals per game and converting 20 percent of their power-play opportunities. Anze Kopitar leads the team with three goals, Joel Edmundson has one assist, and Quinton Byfield has registered four shots on goal.
On defense, the Kings are conceding just one goal per game and have successfully killed off 100 percent of their opponents' power plays. Goalie Darcy Kuemper has been sharp, allowing only one goal on 33 shots faced.
