The Los Angeles Kings have equaled the NHL record for the most consecutive road wins to begin a season, and they have the chance to establish a new record if they triumph in Montreal. Having won all 10 of their away games so far, the Kings drew level with the 2006-07 Buffalo Sabres, who went on to reach the Eastern Conference final.
The Kings’ impressive start has been fueled by their top-six forwards, with five of them averaging at least a point per game on the road. The team’s defense has also been strong, conceding just 2.32 goals per game.
The Kings’ 36-year-old goaltender Cam Talbot has been in superb form, with a record of 8-0-0 on the road, a goals-against average of 1.40, and a save percentage of .951.
