New York Islanders Center Mathew Barzal has five points in his last five games, he should be the one to watch for in tonight’s game. 
Here’s head coach John Stevens talking about the Kings starting the game off with an attacking mindset “Well, I think it’s important at home to get the puck moving up to the forward right away and establish your forecheck right away,” he said. “You want to play with pace, you want to see your team manage the puck really well and you want to see your team skating right away, and on top of that, we keep talk about pucks to the net.”
