Los Angeles at Dallas

Los Angeles has won both meetings this season, including a 5-4 shootout victory on Feb. 7. The Kings have won five of seven, although they do come off a 3-2 overtime loss to Vancouver on Wednesday. Dallas also lost 6-4 to Columbus on Tuesday to conclude an exhausting six-game trip in which the Stars won three. They could still be feeling the effects as the Stars play their first home game since Feb. 2. Darcy Kuemper is 18-6-6 with a 2.21 goals-against average and a .917 save percentage for the Kings, who have won six of seven against Central Division opponents. Also, Los Angeles has won 10 of its past 12 Friday games, and it has allowed only 2.78 goals per game in its past nine games overall. Take the Kings.
