Los Angeles has won five in a row with a dominant defense ranked #2 in the NHL in goals allowed. Goalie Jonathan Quick has a 1.52 goals against average while starting each game during the Kings' current 6-0-1 stretch. He had to make only 17 saves to beat Pittsburgh last week as the Kings outshot the Penguins 37-20 in a 5-3 victory. The Kings are on an 18-6 run, including 8-2 against a team with a winning record. Pittsburgh is still struggling on offense at #26 in goals scored, and #27 in goals allowed. Goalie Marc-Andre Fleury was the loser against the Kings last week with his worst game of the year. The Penguins are 1-5 against the Pacific Division and 1-5 following a win, so back the red-hot visitors and play the L.A. Kings.
