Kings and Ducks both seek to gain a little momentum in Tuesday matchup
with a pair of shootout victories. They hadn’t prevailed in two straight matches since a season-high, four-game win streak that ended Nov. 12. That was one of just two instances in which they’ve won three or more consecutive games this season, as they’ll look to do Tuesday. The Kings have avoided prolonged skids, having gone winless over three straight games just once this year, but they also haven’t been able to gather much steam.
Though they sit at nearly opposite ends of the Pacific Division standings with the Kings in second place and the Ducks dead last, a common thread can be found in the boosts both have received from goaltenders who started the campaign in the minors. Pheonix Copley, 30, has come out on top in four of his five starts since his Kings debut on Dec. 6. He had only seen consistent duty as an NHL backup in one other season, 2018-19, with the Washington Capitals.
