We’ve got Saturday night NHL action live from the PPG Paints Arena, as the Los Angeles Kings travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Penguins. The Kings were losers on Thursday night at Columbus 4-1, while the Penguins lost on Wednesday night at Chicago 6-3. Pittsburgh was in action against Boston on Friday night, but those results were not available yet.
Los Angeles Kings
The Kings road struggles continue as they have already dropped their first three games of this current four game road trip across the Eastern Conference. They have run across some very stiff competition, but it looks like they will most likely add another loss to their already awful 4-10-1 road record here on Saturday.

Dustin Brown leads the Kings with 9 goals on the year, but Anze Kopitar is their points leader with 8 goals and 12 assists. Projected staring goalie Cal Petersen comes in with a 4-4-1 record, a 2.57 GAA and a .927 save percentage.
Injury Report: D Dion Phaneuf is listed as “questionable” for Saturday, while LWs Kyle Clifford, Ilya Kovalchuk and Carl Hagan, as well as RW Jonny Brodzinski, C Trevor Lewis, D Alec Martinez and G Jack Campbell are all listed as “out.”
Pittsburg Penguins
The Penguins come into this game winners of three out of their last five, with the exception of Friday nights unknown result, but still sit on the outside looking in with 32 points and in the 9th position in the Eastern Conference.

With a home record that isn’t even at the .500 plateau this year, Pittsburgh will need projected starting goalie Matt Murray to stand on his head, luckily he won’t be facing the most potent offense in the league. Murray comes into this game with a 4-5-1 record, a 4.08 GAA and a .877 save percentage.
Injury Report: Both RW Patric Hornqvist and LW Domminik Simon are listed as “questionable” for Friday’s game against Boston, so if they don’t go then, they might on Saturday against LA. D Justin Schultz is listed as “out.”

Free Los Angeles Kings vs. Pittsburgh Penguins NHL Prediction:
Neither of these two teams has been playing very good hockey of late, but in the new world of the NHL, we must find a winner. And with the Kings netminders in a way that is hard to watch this year, I give the nod to Pittsburgh, even if they do start Matt Murray on Saturday night.
Take Pittsburg to win this game at home Saturday night. I think the only way LA can win, is if this goes to a shootout, but I don’t think the Penguins will let them hang in it for that long.
