The Los Angeles Kings kick off a Canadian road swing on Monday night, taking on the Edmonton Oilers.
Last time against the Oilers, the Kings ran out 4-0 winners in Jim Hiller's first game as head coach.
The Kings are coming off an unconvincing win over the Anaheim Ducks and lost in a subpar effort against the Nashville Predators on Thursday.
The Kings will have to be better on Monday, otherwise it will be a tough watch for Kings fans.
The Oilers are also struggling, having lost three-straight including a loss in the Battle of Alberta in their last game.
Both team's are trying to get their game back on track in what is an important matchup for the standings.
A win on Monday would see the Kings jump the Oilers in the standings, while a loss would extend Edmonton's lead with a game in hand.
In the absence of Mikey Anderson, Jacob Moverare will draw back in tonight, with Brandt Clarke expected to sit tonight.
It will be a straight swap, Moverare for Clarke in the lineup, as the former draws in next to Matt Roy.
Having a player on his natural side should help against a speedy Edmonton team, as Clarke struggled at times defending on the left against Anaheim.
David Rittich is expected in net .
Alex Turcotte is looking at another game in the press box, as Jaret Anderson-Dolan retains his spot on the fourth line.
