How are the Kings doing this season?

The Kings (41-25-11) and the Ducks (25-48-5) are having drastically different seasons as the playoffs approach, with LA currently sitting third in the Pacific Division standings while the Ducks are second to last, only ahead of the San Jose Sharks. 

Though the Kings have not yet clinched a playoff spot, they're close to doing so for the third straight season as they've won seven of their last 10 games. Anaheim has not made the postseason since the 2017-18 season, still in the midst of roster rebuilding after selecting Leo Carlsson with the No. 2 overall pick in last year's NHL Draft. 

Which LA Kings players should I watch?

Kings Captain Anze Kopitar has been a consistent and formidable force over the years, especially when facing off against the Ducks. He has the most points all-time against Anaheim with 87.
