Los Angeles Kings News

With the Kings still battling for playoff positioning in their final game of the season, they will turn to Anton Forsberg, who has been their go-to option between the pipes in recent weeks. The 33-year-old Swedish goalie was solid in his most recent outing, saving 30 of 33 shots (.909 SV%) in a 5-3 win over the Seattle Kraken. Forsberg elevated his game in April to help his team clinch a playoff berth, posting an excellent 1.37 GAA and .950 SV% in five games (5-0-0). The Kings enter Thursday's contest as -151 road favourites against a Calgary Flames team that has been limited to just one goal in three of their last four games (1-3-0).

Kuemper has seemingly lost control of the Kings' crease to Anton Forsberg at the most pivotal point of the season, but he will get the nod for the tail-end of their back-to-back on Tuesday. Kuemper's last start came back on April 4th against the Maple Leafs, when he was credited with the victory despite surrendering six goals on 20 shots. The 35-year-old goaltender has appeared in 49 games this season, logging a 19-14-14 record and an .892 SV%. Kuemper and the Kings enter action on Tuesday at -160 on the money line.

Forsberg has emerged as the Kings' No.1 netminder at a crucial time of year, and comes into Monday's game having won four in a row and stopping 103 of 107 (.963 SV%) shots (.956 SV%) that he's faced. He was sensational in the Kings' previous game, saving all 27 shots he faced for a 1-0 shutout victory over the Edmonton Oilers. The Kings hope to inch closer to a playoff berth on Monday, entering the action as -159 road favourites against a Seattle Kraken team that has followed up a six-game losing streak by winning two straight.

Turcotte has not played in nearly two weeks and will miss another game on Monday, but could return in one of the Kings' final two regular season games. The 25-year-old forward is averaging 10:50 time-on-ice and has 14 points (3G / 11A) in 62 games this season.

Malott did not play in Los Angeles' previous game due to an undisclosed injury and will miss the final three games of the regular season. The 29-year-old forward is averaging 8:49 time-on-ice and has nine points (3G / 6A) in 58 games this season.

Forsberg has emerged as the Kings' No.1 netminder at a crucial time of year, and comes into Saturday's game having won three in a row and stopping 87 of the last 91 shots (.956 SV%) that he's faced. He'll look to stay hot against an Oilers team that is without Leon Draisaitl, Zach Hyman and Jason Dickinson. The Kings are -116 home favourites.

Malott has been a steady force on Los Angeles bottom-six but will be a game-time decision vs. Edmonton on Saturday. The 29-year-old has been effective in his first full NHL season, with three goals, nine points and 55 PIMs in 58 games played.

With their playoff hopes on the line, the Kings will turn to Forsberg, who has been far more reliable than Darcy Kuemper lately. The 33-year-old Forsberg was outstanding in his most recent outing, saving 29 of 31 shots (.935 SV%) in a 3-2 shootout win over the Nashville Predators. He has a 1.75 GAA and .939 SV% in his last four appearances (2-1-0).

The Kings are coming off a crucial 2-1 overtime win over the St. Louis Blues last night, courtesy of a strong effort from Anton Forsberg between the pipes, but they will turn to Kuemper on Thursday in the tail end of their back-to-back. Kuemper had a forgetful performance in his most recent outing, allowing five goals on 16 shots (.688 SV%) in an eventual 6-2 loss to the Utah Mammoth. He had an inconsistent March as a whole, posting a 2.65 GAA and .891 SV% in 10 games (4-2-4). The Kings enter Thursday's contest as -118 home favourites against a well-rested Nashville Predators team that they are battling with for the final Wild Card spot in the Western Conference.
