The Los Angeles Kings have had some standout performers in their previous three games. One player to watch is Pierre-Luc Dubois, a forward who has shown his scoring prowess with 1 goal and 2 shots on goal in the last game. Dubois has been a key contributor to the team's offense, making him a player to keep an eye on in this upcoming game.


Another player who has been making an impact for the Kings is defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov. Gavrikov has been solid defensively, with 2 shots on goal and a plus-minus rating of -2 in the last game. His strong defensive play will be crucial in shutting down the Hurricanes' offensive threats.


On the other side of the ice, the Carolina Hurricanes have their own top performers to rely on. Forward Sebastian Aho has been a force to be reckoned with, contributing 1 assist and 3 shots on goal in the previous game. Aho's playmaking abilities make him a dangerous player for any opposing team.


In addition, goaltender Antti Raanta has been stellar between the pipes for the Hurricanes. With a save percentage of 1 and only allowing 1 goal on 22 shots in his last game, Raanta has proven himself as a reliable netminder for his team.


Looking at the overall performance of both teams over their past three games, there are some notable statistics to consider. The Los Angeles Kings have scored an average of 2 goals per game while allowing an average of 3 goals against. On the other hand, the Carolina Hurricanes have scored an average of 2.33 goals per game and allowed an average of 1.67 goals against.


Based on these statistics, it is clear that both teams have strong defensive units. However, the Kings may need to focus on their offensive output in order to secure a victory against the Hurricanes.
