With Mikey Anderson back, the Kings' important absences are Carl Grundstrom, Viktor Arvidsson, and Pheonix Copley. As the Kings approach the season's knockout stages, the trio will be hoping to return as soon as possible.
The team's onslaught will continue as usual, with wingers Fiala, Kempe, and center Kopitar hoping to put the Chicago Blackhawks to bed. The three forwards have already produced 50+ points this season and will look to improve that total on Friday.
Chicago Blackhawks game preview:
(18-43-5, eighth in the Central Division)
Despite the season not being so eventful for the Chicago Blackhawks, the team has managed to put together back-to-back wins against the Arizona Coyotes and Anaheim Ducks as they look to put up a fight against the LA Kings.
The Blackhawks have won three out of their last four games, and they'd be hoping to finish strongly.
Chicago Blackhawks: Key players and injuries:
As the season nears its end, the Blackhawks are without important offensive players Reese Johnson and Taylor Hall, as well as defenseman Connor Murphy.
