Team Spotlight: Los Angeles Kings
The Los Angeles Kings went 3-0 this week after beating the Coyotes, the Ducks and shutting out the Canadiens last week. The Kings also generated more unblocked shot attempts in 2 out of 3 games driven primarily by Kevin Fiala (18) and Trevor Moore (12). Fiala was 14th this week in Unblocked Shot Attempts per 60 and is now at 20 points (6G/14A) along with Adrian Kempe. Trevor Moore, though, really stepped up his game this week after increasing his Points per 60 to 5.35 from 2.00, thanks to 4 goals and 6 points in the 3 games last week.
Now leading the league in Goals per Game (4), the Kings are a real threat to any defense trying to stop them. With 9 players scoring 80% of their goals, they show some scoring depth but don't show the same depth in Unblocked Shot Attempts, as they have 11 players generating 80% of their unblocked shots. With 2 games in the next week, the Kings will try continue their momentum against the Capitals and then the Pacific Division leaders, the Vegas Golden Knights.
