Their victory over formidable opponents like the Washington Capitals and New York Islanders highlighted their ability to maintain defensive solidity while capitalizing on offensive opportunities. Notably, Darcy Kuemper 's goaltending prowess has been a cornerstone of LA's success. His impeccable saves percentage in these matches underscores his critical role in keeping opponents at bay.

Moreover, LA's power play strategies have been notably effective. Their ability to convert power play opportunities into goals was evident against teams that posed significant challenges defensively. This aspect of their game could prove pivotal when facing off against the Blackhawks, who have had moments of vulnerability on special teams.

They've shown flashes of brilliance throughout the season but have struggled with consistency. For them to counteract LA's momentum, focusing on strengthening their penalty kill units and exploiting any lapses in LA’s defense will be key.

However, given LA’s recent performance surge led by players like Adrian Kempe – whose agility and scoring ability were particularly notable – it seems likely that they'll carry this momentum into their upcoming game against Chicago.
