PREGAME NOTES

Something’s gotta give in this cross-country bout at Crypto.com Arena. While the Bruins have won four in a row, the Kings are red-hot — having won five straight games and seven of their last eight. Thanks to this surge, the Kings are now up to second place in the Pacific Division. 

Since starting the season with a 9-9-4 record, the Kings have exceeded expectations thanks to a blend of established veteran talent and promising youth. The Kings have now outshot their opponent in 20 consecutive games. 

Jeremy Swayman will start once again in net for Boston. Swayman is 4-0-1 in his last five games with a .964 save percentage. 

Boston is 5-0-2 in its last seven games against the Kings, with Boston only relinquishing six even-strength goals to L.A. during that stretch.
