Carolina is really struggling having lost five in a row. The Kings are No. 1 in shots on goal. The Hurricanes average less than two goals per game. They've gone 15 games in a row without scoring more than three goals in a game.

The teams met a month ago and it was no contest with LA winning, 3-0, at home. Jonathan Quick was in net for that game and is expected to get the start today. He's 4-1 with a 1.38 GAA in five games versus Carolina.
