Will Los Angeles Kings Continue Their Home Ice Dominance Against Chicago Blackhawks?

As the Los Angeles Kings prepare to host the Chicago Blackhawks at Crypto.com Arena, fans are eager to see if their team can maintain their impressive performance on home ice. The Kings have shown a strong trend in recent games, with two wins and one overtime loss in their last three outings.

The statistics from these games reveal that the Kings have been particularly effective at even strength, scoring a total of 10 goals while conceding only 5. Their shooting percentage has been remarkable, especially during the game against New Jersey Devils where they achieved an astounding 22 percent success rate. This offensive prowess is complemented by solid goaltending, with save percentages consistently at or near 100 percent across all situations.


Faceoffs have been a mixed bag for the Kings; while they won half of their faceoffs against Ottawa Senators and improved slightly against New Jersey Devils with a win percentage of 52 percent, they struggled in this area during their game against Vancouver Canucks with only 36 percent. Addressing this aspect could be crucial for maintaining control of the puck and dictating play.

Penalty minutes have remained low for Los Angeles, indicating disciplined play that will need to continue if they are to suppress any advantage Chicago might seek through power plays.


The upcoming match promises to be an exciting one as both teams vie for victory. Fans can catch all the action on March 20th at Crypto.com Arena or tune into ESPN+ online or BSW and NBCS-CHI on TV networks. With puck drop scheduled for March 19th at 7:00 PM local time (PST), make sure you're ready to support your team as they aim to keep up their winning ways on home ice!
