Los Angeles Kings

Players to Stack: Anze Kopitar, Marian Gaborik, and Dustin Brown

The Kings need to get it going soon if they want any shot at the playoffs, and tonight is the perfect place to start. Coming off the holiday break, the Kings get a matchup with the worst team in the league record-wise and the sixth-worst possession-wise (47.37 Corsi For %).

Brown (16.1 Individual Corsi For per 60) replaces Trevor Lewis (11.3) on the top line in what is a big upgrade according to the advanced metrics. With Lewis, this line owned a 80 Corsi For per 60, 16 scoring chances per 60, and 65 Corsi For % which are incredible stats even though they never really broke through in a big way. The breakout for this line is coming, and it could be tonight against a poor Vancouver Canucks team.

Kopitar, Gaborik, and Brown will all see power play minutes and should see some Henrik Sedin's line at even-strength, but their possession numbers are subpar (47 Corsi For %). In a great matchup against a leaky defense, giving up over 6 high danger scoring chances per game with an average goalie in Ryan Miller (90.4 save percentage and 2.96 goals against average), this is a great time to stack up the Kings in your GPPs.
