5️⃣ Things To Know For Today's Game

1. Tonight is the final game before the NHL hits the Olympic break, as the Kings conclude a back-to-back set this evening against the Vegas Golden Knights.
2. The Kings enter tonight's game ranking third in the NHL this season on the second half of back-to-back games. In nine situations so far this season, the Kings have averaged 1.44 points-per-game, trailing only Buffalo and Dallas, courtesy of a 5-1-3 record in those games.
3. Forward Andrei Kuzmenko led the way in yesterday's 4-2 defeat against the Seattle Kraken, as he scored both goals for the Kings in a losing effort. Kuzmenko's tallies each came on the man advantage and the Russian forward leads all Los Angeles skaters with eight power-play goals this season, as he improved his overall total to 13 goals, tied for third on the Kings in all situations.
4. With an assist on Kuzmenko's goal in the second period, forward Adrian Kempe extended his point streak to eight games in yesterday's defeat against Seattle. Kempe's point streak is tied for the third-longest active streak in the NHL, trailing only a ten-game run by Minnesota's Quinn Hughes and a nine-game run by Tampa Bay's Nikita Kucherov.
5. The Kings will not have forward Artemi Panarin for tonight's game against Vegas, after the forward was acquired from the New York Rangers yesterday afternoon. Kings General Manager Ken Holland said that Panarin will join the team on February 18 for their first practice coming out of the Olympic break. More on that HERE.
