Expect Kopitar and Brown to continue their comeback season, especially if Iafallo comes back into the mix. Jeff Carter’s stats aren’t going to be at the top of the list but he’s been a force on the ice since he came back and if he can kickstart That 70’s Line again, their forward lines are solid. They are at a significant loss without Muzzin, so expect Doughty, Martinez, and Phaneuf to take heavy minutes. And of course, they’ll ride Quick, our Jennings Trophy winner. If defense wins Cups, the Kings have the advantage.
