The Kings come into this game having a single point of a possible four although they did manage to comeback from a 5-2 deficit to force OT against the Hurricanes which they ultimately lost in a nine-round shootout. The Jets meanwhile have played two very good hockey games and are coming off a big win over Eastern Conference champion Florida.
