Both teams are on two-game losing streaks and Los Angeles is trying to solve its goaltending problem as starter Jonathan Quick has been dealing with a lower body injury and is questionable for this game. The Kings have allowed nine goals their last two games following Monday's 4-1 loss at Toronto when goalie Jack Campbell saved 21-of-25 shots. This will be the first home game following a four-game road trip for the Kings while New York is playing its third straight road contest. The islanders have had similar problems in losing at Nashville and Anaheim while giving up nine goals. However, Robin Lehner will be in net tonight and he still owns a 2.02 goals-against average and .937 save percentage this season in two starts. The Kings have lost nine of their last 11 overall dating to last season and four of their last five home games. Take the Islanders.
