Can the Kings Conquer the Devils at Prudential Center?

As the Los Angeles Kings prepare to face off against the New Jersey Devils at Prudential Center, fans are eager to see if their team can maintain their recent performance on enemy ice. The Kings have been showing a strong trend in their past games, with a notable victory over the Calgary Flames where they scored five goals and demonstrated solid defense with 25 blocked shots. Their shooting percentage was impressive at fifteen percent, indicating efficient scoring.

However, in their subsequent game against the Seattle Kraken, despite outshooting them with 43 attempts and winning sixty-two percent of faceoffs, they only managed to find the back of the net once. This suggests that while creating opportunities isn't an issue for this squad, converting those chances into goals could be an area for improvement.


The Kings' most recent away game against San Jose Sharks showcased a balanced attack and disciplined play. They secured a win by scoring four goals from thirty-nine shots and successfully blocking sixteen attempts by their opponents. Their powerplay capitalized on one of two opportunities which could be crucial in breaking down the Devils' defense.

The upcoming match promises to be an exciting clash as both teams look to assert dominance. The venue's atmosphere is expected to play its part; however, it's up to Los Angeles Kings to adapt quickly and leverage any advantage they can muster.


Fans can catch all the action from this thrilling encounter scheduled for February 16th at Prudential Center in Newark. The puck drops at 7:00 PM EST (4:00 PM PST), with broadcasts available on ESPN+ nationally or BSW channel 692 for local viewers following Los Angeles Kings' journey on away ice.
