Los Angeles Kings Keys to Victory vs. Detroit Red Wings

Keep Playing Stingy Defense

The Red Wings aren’t exactly an offensive juggernaut. They rank just 25th in the league in goals per game. Dylan Larkin is the only player with double digit goals on the team, as he’s netted 11 in 38 games. The Kings defense continues to hold opponents to the fewest shots on goal per game, and impressively limited a San Jose Sharks team averaging 30.4 shots per game to just 27 in a game that went to overtime. The Sharks entered the 3rd period of that game with just 13 shots on goal.
