Blackhawks Gameday Preview: Blackhawks at Kings

The last time the Hawks and the Kings faced off was November 3rd at the United Center, where the Blackhawks won the game in overtime thanks to a goal from Jonathan Toews, who has been tearing it up to start the season.

The Blackhawks currently have a 5-5-2 record through 12 games played and are currently sitting in 4th place in the Wild Card standings. The Kings are 8-6-1 through 15 games played and are currently 3rd in the Pacific Division.

Some key players to watch in this one are Jonathan Toews and Caleb Jones. Toews has 3 goals and 4 points in his last 5 games while Jones has 3 assists in his last 5 games. A key player to watch for the Kings will be Kevin Fiala, who has 4 assists and 5 points in his last 5 games and has looked dangerous with the puck to start the season.

Both teams were very evenly matched last time they met so I would expect another physical, low-scoring type of game tonight in Los Angeles.
