"Kings Hold Off Canucks in Potential Playoff Preview"

The LA Kings are set to begin a key four-game road trip in Vancouver, with the team opting for an off-ice workout instead of a morning skate due to the early puck drop. The Kings are expected to maintain their lineup from the previous game, with limited options for changes. Vancouver, on a hot streak, will likely start Casey DeSmith in goal due to Thatcher Demko's injury. The Kings are entering a crucial stretch of games and have seen increased offensive production from their defensemen. Additionally, the team's top three scorers are all tied with identical stat lines, setting the stage for an exciting conclusion to the regular season.
