Winnipeg Jets News & Notes:
The Winnipeg Jets are heading into Los Angeles with a boost in their lineup as captain Adam Lowry is set to make his season debut tonight. The Jets are also down a man as Morgan Barron is listed week-to-week with an undisclosed injury. Barron will not travel with the team on the upcoming road trip. The Jets’ current six-game road trip will see Cole Perfetti and Dylan Samberg travel with the team. Both players are likely to return at some point during the team’s road trip.
Los Angeles Kings News & Notes:
The Los Angeles Kings welcome the Winnipeg Jets to Crypto.com Arena as they look to snap their two-game losing streak. Los Angeles has been at the centre of the hockey talk as Adrian Kempe has yet to sign a contract extension with the team.

Players To Watch:
Winnipeg Jets
Nino Niederreiter has produced a nice element of secondary scoring to the Jets’ lineup since his acquisition. This could be a big game for the Jets’ third-line forward alongside Adam Lowry.
Brad Lambert is coming off scoring his first career NHL goal. With a chance to build on that momentum in Los Angeles, Lambert could cement his spot in the lineup by stringing together more goals.
Los Angeles Kings
Corey Perry has produced like a first-line forward in a fourth-line role. He makes the Kings’ offence more lethal if he can continue to produce in this way.
Brandt Clarke is the cornerstone piece of the Kings’ defence. He’s an important part of the structure the Kings have defensively, and another strong game for him will give the Kings that confidence in him long term.
