The Canes are coming off of a 4-3 overtime loss to the Washington Capitals on Saturday, a game win which they blew a 3-0 lead and just all around looked poor.

Coach Rod Brind’Amour called out the team postgame so we’ll see if that did anything to light a fire underneath a few players.

The Kings enter tonight’s game coming off of a 3-2 overtime win over the Philadelphia Flyers the day before and the team overall has won four of their last five.

LA has been one of the lowest scoring teams in the league this season and with poor special teams to boot, but they’re still in the race for a playoff spot thanks to some strong goaltending and defensive play.

Streaks

Shayne Gostisbehere (3g, 1a), Jordan Staal (1g, 1a) and Jordan Martinook (2a) have points in back-to-back games.
