The Los Angeles Kings are the lone winless team in the NHL, and they'll try to change that on a five-game road swing beginning Tuesday in Washington against the Capitals.
LA has scored exactly one goal in each of its last four games and is coming off back-to-back 4-1 home defeats to the Bruins and Oilers as it continues to search for answers on offense. Saturday's game against Boston saw the Kings score 31 seconds into the game, then get shut out the rest of the way.
If there is any good news for Peter Laviolette and the Kings, it's that they have played the fewest games of any team in the league with six, so there's still plenty of time to get ramped up. They just need to get some positive momentum soon.
The Caps, meanwhile, are in the middle of the pack but have put together back-to-back wins at home including a 4-2 victory over the Devils on Saturday. That one saw Boone Jenner find the net for the fourth time in five games, with the veteran center getting into a groove in his first season in D.C.
