This is a pretty even matchup across the board. The Wings hold the edge offensively (thanks in large part to Pavel Datsyuk) but the Kings have an advantage on defense. Detroit has the better power play, but L.A. is the better penalty killing team. The Wings hold an edge in face offs and discipline, but the Kings have an advantage in the net with Jonathan Quick. The Red Wings are 11-2 in their last 13 trips to Los Angeles and 35-16-3 in their last 54 games against the Kings.
