Can the Los Angeles Kings Outshine the Dallas Stars at Crypto.com Arena?

As the Los Angeles Kings prepare to host the Dallas Stars at Crypto.com Arena, fans are eager to see if their team can continue its recent trend of resilience. The upcoming clash, scheduled for March 10th, promises to be a thrilling encounter in the heart of Los Angeles.

The Kings have shown a mixed bag of results in their past few games. Despite a hard-fought victory against the Anaheim Ducks in a shootout, they've also faced setbacks with losses to both Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers. The statistics reveal some areas of concern but also highlight strengths that could be pivotal against Dallas.

In their last game against Calgary, despite an even strength goal percentage of 100 percent and blocking an impressive 22 shots, they fell short due to a -11 plus-minus rating and only winning 49 percent of faceoffs. Against Edmonton, while they managed more hits (38) and had an equal number of shots on goal (40), they again lost by two goals with a shooting percentage standing at just five percent.

However, it's not all doom and gloom for the Kings; their powerplay performance has been noteworthy. In their victorious battle with Anaheim Ducks where they won 68 percent faceoffs overall – showing that when it comes down to crucial moments in special teams play, Los Angeles can dominate possession.

Looking ahead to facing Dallas Stars at home provides an opportunity for redemption. The Kings will need to leverage their powerplay efficiency while tightening up defensively during even-strength play if they want success on home ice.

Fans can catch this exciting matchup live on ESPN+ or locally on KCAL or BSSWX come March 10th at Crypto.com Arena. With puck drop set for just after dusk local time (03:30 AM UTC), it's sure to be an electrifying night as Los Angeles looks to capitalize on home advantage and climb higher up in standings.
