The Jackets are on the dreaded West Coast road trip that historically equals little to no success, but they must overcome that and get points in Southern California this weekend. They have to get back on track after dropping their last three games. The Jackets will play tonight at Crypto.Com Arena for the 35th time in their history. In the 34 previous games, they've only been able to win 10 games. Not good. The LA Kings come into this game having lost their game to the Vancouver Canucks, but they're 6-3-1 in the last 10 games. The Kings are 8th in the NHL in scoring, so the Jackets must slow them down the best they can. The CBJ are 12th in the league in goals against, so if they limit their chances and score themselves, they should have a shot in this game. Their power play is 23rd in the league, while the CBJ PK is 13th, so the special teams should actually be a pretty good matchup. The Jackets PP is 24th, while the Kings PK is 17th. The Kings are currently 2nd in the Pacific, 4th in the West, and 7th in the league.
