Minnesota has won five of its last six games, including 3-2 over San Jose on Thursday when Zach Perise and Ryan Suter each had a goal and an assist, and Alex Stalock made 40 saves. It was the sixth straight road win for the Wild and now it goes to Los Angeles to face the last-place Kings, who suddenly are hot with a four-game winning streak. However, Minnesota has won five of its last six versus Pacific Division teams and it has won four of the last five meetings. The Kings still are 20-46 their last 66 games following a win and 12-39 their last 51 playing with one day of rest. The teams have split two meetings this season, and the edge goes to Minnesota in this one. Play the Wild.
