Top Performers from Los Angeles Kings


One player who has consistently caught the eye is forward Kevin Fiala. His performance in recent games has been nothing short of impressive. In one of the previous matches against the New York Rangers, Fiala managed to net two goals on seven shots, boasting a shooting percentage of 29 percent.

Another King who deserves mention is Phillip Danault. Danault found the back of the net once and provided an assist across three games, proving his worth as a versatile forward. His contributions have been significant in both offensive plays and defensive duties, making him an all-around asset for Los Angeles.


San Jose Sharks' Key Players


On the opposing side, Tyler Toffoli stands out for the San Jose Sharks.

His ability to perform under pressure makes him a player to watch in this matchup.
