Conversely, the Kings have performed much better on the road. They have a 6-1-2 away record, scoring approximately one more goal per game and conceding nearly one less than at home. This strong road form has kept them in playoff contention.

Recent Matchups and Streaks

The Kings recently handed the Pittsburgh Penguins their second regulation loss at home and now travel to Montreal for the second game of a six-game road trip.

"It hasn’t mattered which venue the games have been played between the two teams recently, Los Angeles has been in full control of the matchup."

Montreal lost both games against the Kings last season and has been defeated in all eight contests since the NHL pause due to COVID-19. The last Canadiens victory against Los Angeles dates back nearly six years, to November 9, 2019.

There is no single player from the Kings imposing a dominant presence in these recent matchups.
