Fri Nov 08 04:40:00 UTC 2024: ## Kings Look to Extend Winning Streak Against Canucks at Home

The Los Angeles Kings (8-3-3) return home tonight for a matchup against the Vancouver Canucks (6-2-3), aiming to extend their winning streak to three games.

The Kings dominated their recent road trip, picking up wins against both Nashville and Minnesota. They’ll look to carry that momentum into a Pacific Division clash against the Canucks, a team they defeated three times last season.

Goaltender Darcy Kuemper is expected to start tonight after earning his first shutout of the season in Monday’s win over Nashville. The Kings are without forward Alex Turcotte, who is day-to-day with an upper-body injury.

The Canucks, on the other hand, are coming off back-to-back wins against San Jose and Anaheim. They are still without forward Dakota Joshua and defensemen Derek Forbort.

A key storyline to watch tonight is the reuniting of the Kings’ top line of Kevin Fiala, Anze Kopitar, and Adrian Kempe. This trio, despite not playing much together last season, showed promising chemistry during Tuesday’s win over Minnesota. Their potential is high, especially with Turcotte out.

The game kicks off at 7:30 PM PST at Crypto.com Arena. The Kings will be looking to capitalize on their home-ice advantage and maintain their strong start to the season.
