Kurashev, a forward for the Blackhawks, has been in exceptional form in their previous games. In their most recent game against the San Jose Sharks, Kurashev showcased his skills with 1 assist and a total of 2 points. He made his presence felt on the ice with 3 shots and a shooting percentage of 33 percent. Kurashev's performance was instrumental in the Blackhawks' offensive efforts, and his contribution cannot be overlooked.


But Kurashev is not the only player who has been making an impact for the Blackhawks. Seth Jones, a defenseman, has been a force to be reckoned with on the blue line. In their game against the Sharks, Jones recorded 1 assist and played an impressive 27 minutes and 7 seconds on the ice. His defensive prowess was evident with 3 hits and 2 takeaways.


Another standout player for the Blackhawks is goaltender Petr Mrazek. In their previous game, Mrazek made an impressive 25 saves out of 27 shots faced, resulting in a save percentage of 93 percent. His stellar performance between the pipes kept the opposition at bay and gave his team a chance to secure victory.


As for the Los Angeles Kings, they have their own set of top performers to rely on. Anze Kopitar, a forward for the Kings, has been leading by example with his exceptional playmaking skills. In their most recent game against the Dallas Stars, Kopitar recorded 2 assists and played a crucial role in the Kings' offensive efforts.


On the defensive end, Drew Doughty has been a stalwart for the Kings. In their previous game, Doughty played an impressive 24 minutes and 37 seconds on the ice and showcased his defensive prowess with 1 hit and 1 takeaway.


When these two teams face off at the United Center, it will be a battle of skill, determination, and strategy. The Blackhawks will look to capitalize on Kurashev's offensive prowess and Jones' defensive abilities to secure a victory on home ice. However, they cannot underestimate the Kings' firepower, led by Kopitar and Doughty.


Fans can catch all the action live on ESPN+, NBCS-CHI, and BSW. The game is scheduled for March 20th at 9:00 PM (Chicago time) at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. It promises to be an exhilarating clash between two formidable teams vying for victory.
