NHL playoff standings: The Kings' case to win the West

The Los Angeles Kings have been one of the NHL's hottest teams recently, earning at least one point in each of their past 12 games (going 10-0-2 in that stretch), putting themselves two points and one regulation win behind the Western Conference-leading Vegas Golden Knights heading into tonight's game against the Calgary Flames (9 p.m. ET, NHL Power Play on ESPN+). How likely are they to eclipse the Knights and earn the West's No. 1 seed?

After tonight's matchup, they'll face the Edmonton Oilers twice, and the Knights, Seattle Kraken and Colorado Avalanche twice.
