If Tuesday’s game came with a tinge of revenge for Kevin Fiala, Thursday night’s game vs. the Blackhawks should certainly have a double scoop of revenge for the entire LA Kings team.
Last week in Chicago, coach Todd McLellan saw his club lose 2-1 in overtime. Given LA’s playoff desires, which are at the opposite end of the expectation scale for Chicago this season, that was a game they needed to win.
LA Kings Projected Lineup vs. Chicago Blackhawks
