The Los Angeles Kings finish their quick Northern Pacific road trip on Tuesday against the San Jose Sharks.
The Kings are coming off a 3-2 shootout victory over the Seattle Kraken on Saturday, while the Sharks are coming off a 6-2 loss against the Colorado Avalanche.
It's been another tough season for the rebuilding Sharks, who sit dead last in the Pacific Division.
This is Kings team that's been dominant on the road this season, meaning they're heavy favorites for tonight's game.
Of course, you can't take any nights off in the NHL and the Kings will have to show up to play.
The big news for Tuesday's game is the Kings debut for David Rittich.
Rittich was called up ahead of Saturdays game against the Kraken and will be the backup while Phoenix Copley is on IR.
Rittich's spent all of this season in the AHL, but is a veteran of 172 NHL games,
The Kings are in good hands with Rittich in net.
There are no other lineup changes expected on Tuesday.
