The Kings, with playoff positioning and momentum to play for, take on the Ducks on Thursday night at Honda Center
Although their paths have continued to diverge, circumstance has set the Kings and Ducks up to play their most meaningful Freeway Faceoff since Game 7 of the Stanley Cup quarterfinals in 2014.
When the teams square off Thursday at Honda Center, a win could finally cement the Kings’ playoff position and a loss might inch the Ducks closer to Bedard, though the Columbus Blue Jackets could secure the top lottery position by losing their final two contests. “Everything gets slotted back to where it should be. He’s a hell of a player, he defends so well, he cleans up a lot of mistakes from teammates and brings a physical edge,” Kings coach Todd McLellan said.
The victory against Vancouver saw Arthur Kaliyev score a goal to establish a new career high in points during what has been an up-and-down season for the sniping winger. Phillip Danault and Trevor Moore set up a goal in an effort that might help elevate the second line closer to the level of potency it showed last year.
