This is a stop-the-pain game for the Kings, losers of four in a row. They are playing in their second road game in two days after losing to the Rangers last night, but this is a short trip.

Peter Budaj should be back in goal for the Kings after resting against the Rangers. The Devils either will be going with backup goalie Keith Kinkaid, or Cory Schneider, who has been sick and missed the last two games.

The Devils are just 2-7-1 in their last 10 home games.
