Kings face best in the West Division this week

While the Kings have a significant deficit to make up to reach the playoffs, they also have the easiest schedule among West Division teams, thanks in large part to five of the remaining 16 games coming against the last-place Ducks.
But they’ll face a test of mettle in the short run, confronting the top teams in the West Division for four games. They’ll start that stretch by hosting the Vegas Golden Knights Monday and Wednesday, before traveling to Colorado to meet the Avalanche.
