In the last three games, several players from both teams have stood out with their exceptional skills and contributions. Let's take a closer look at some of the top performers who could have a significant impact on the upcoming game.


For the Detroit Red Wings, defenseman Ben Chiarot has been a force to be reckoned with. In his last three games, Chiarot has displayed his defensive prowess, recording solid stats such as 21 minutes and 35 seconds of time on ice, along with one penalty and zero goals or assists. His strong presence on the blue line has helped keep opposing teams at bay.


Another standout player for the Red Wings is forward Shayne Gostisbehere. Gostisbehere has showcased his offensive skills by contributing one assist and three shots on goal in his last three games. His ability to create scoring opportunities for his teammates makes him a valuable asset to the team's offense.


Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Kings have their own set of top performers who will be looking to make an impact in this game. Forward Trevor Moore has been outstanding, scoring two goals and registering five shots on goal in his last three games. His offensive instincts and ability to find the back of the net make him a constant threat to opposing goaltenders.


In addition, goaltender Cam Talbot has been stellar between the pipes for the Kings. With a save percentage of 0.933 and only allowing two goals in his previous game, Talbot has proven himself as a reliable last line of defense for his team.


As we approach this highly anticipated matchup, it's important to note the average player statistics over the last three games for both teams. The Detroit Red Wings have averaged 2.1 goals per game, while the Los Angeles Kings have averaged 2.3 goals per game. Both teams have displayed solid defensive play, with the Red Wings allowing an average of 2.4 goals against and the Kings allowing an average of 1.7 goals against.


Based on these statistics, it's clear that both teams have a strong chance of coming out on top in this game. The Detroit Red Wings will rely on their defensive prowess and the offensive contributions of players like Ben Chiarot and Shayne Gostisbehere to secure a victory. However, they will need to be wary of the offensive firepower brought by Trevor Moore and the goaltending skills of Cam Talbot from the Los Angeles Kings.
