Kings Vs Wild: Game Preview
The Kings look to get back to an even record tonight against the Minnesota Wild.
After three games into the season, the Kings find themselves at a 1-2 record, and tonight they face the Minnesota Wild, who are coming off a 7-4 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets, where they registered 52 shots. The Kings, on the other hand, are coming off a 3-2 loss to the Winnipeg Jets after Jets forward Mark Scheifele scored twice to put the Jets over the Kings.
The key factors for the game are to improve defensively, which in turn will enable the Kings to generate more offence. The Wild are a strong offensive team led by Matt Boldy and Kirill Kaprizov, who, between the two of them, have 12 points. The Kings have been a decent team offensively, having 9 goals in 3 games. The Kings will need all of their depth forwards and defence to energize the team.
