The Los Angeles Kings are placed second in the Eastern Conference Pacific Division with 76 points. The Kings have had a decent season offensively, scoring over 200 goals, with Adrian Kempe and Anze Kopitar contributing 20 goals each. But their defense has let the team down, conceding 3.4 on average.
