The Los Angeles Kings are a perfect 4-0-0 on the road this season and will look to make that 5-0-0 in Ottawa on Thursday.
The Los Angeles Kings are a perfect 4-0-0 on the road this season and will look to make that 5-0-0 in Ottawa on Thursday.
They're facing a Senators team that's still finding its feet early in the season, but one that can certainly hurt you if they're on their game.
Many fans will key in on the matchup between Quinton Byfield and Tim Stutzle, with both players off to strong starts.
Both have two goals, but Stutzle's eight assists put him atop the Senator's point charts.
The Kings will also likely face former goalie Joonas Korpisalo Thursday, who left in the summer and signed a five-year, $20 million contract in Ottawa.
Andreas Englund returns to Ottawa, the team that drafted him, after scoring his first NHL goal on Tuesday in Toronto.
If the Kings can post a similar performance to the one they had against Toronto on Tuesday, they should leave Ottawa with their fifth road win.
No lineup changes are expected for the Kings.
