Just a few years ago, Los Angeles was one of the league's major underdogs that didn't even compete for cup spots, but then promising youngsters gained experience and skill, several successful trades were made, and then the Californians became regular playoff participants again. They are also playing at a solid level in the current regular season. In 15 meetings held, the Kings have allowed only six defeats, and in nine cases, they have won. The previous day, the Black and Whites hosted Florida at home, beating the South in a hard-fought 2:1 victory. This success allowed them to retain fourth place in the Western Conference standings.

St. Louis is historically one of the most stable teams in the league, a regular participant in cup battles, but last season failed to make the playoffs. The Musicians started the current regular season very hard. In the eight starting meetings, they won only three victories and, in five cases, suffered setbacks. Thankfully, they still managed to make significant progress. In the next six games, they lost only to Winnipeg and won five more times. The day before, they played on the road with San Jose, suffering another setback - 1:5. Now Blue-and-Yellow are located only on the ninth line in the standings of the Western Conference.

St. Louis has recently become a very convenient opponent for Los Angeles. The Kings have already beaten the Musicians in four consecutive head-to-head meetings, and all of these victories are completely different, but the outcome is the same. And in the upcoming confrontation, they are the favorites, as in the current regular season, they look simply stronger than the opponent. They are in fourth position in the Western Conference standings, and the Bluesmen are still outside the playoff zone.

In the current regular season, Los Angeles plays very cheerfully, especially concerning home games in eight battles involving the Kings on the ice of Crypto. com-Arena scored 56 (7.00 average per game), which is a decent indicator by the standards of the NHL. The Musicians have a much more modest figure, but the last personal meeting between the rivals was very productive when the Californians won - 7:6.
