Los Angeles Kings Undefeated in 13 Games

The Los Angeles Kings have been red hot since the beginning of the season pulling off an incredible 13 game unbeaten streak as of Tuesday night when they downed the Barons 3-2. Many of their games have been extremely close wins or ties, but what has really stuck out is the goals for at 80 versus goals against at 53. They are fairly even home/away, with a slight edge at home with 6 wins versus 4, but the story really has been the production of the King's primary line.

Bouchard has been powerful with 35 points in only 18 games, on a pace for a 159 point season if he was to remain healthy. His ability to pass the puck is challenged by no one and he is also 7th in the league for goals with 12.

Bouchard's main target for his accurate passes is Barry Tallackson, who leads the league with 21 goals in 18 games, a pace that could total up to 95 goals for the season should he continue to fire pucks in at a scoring rate of 27 % accuracy.

Ohlund, Lynch and Carlsson are on the leaderboard for defensemen as the team seems to follow an open and exciting style of play characterized by taking offensive chances.

Although the first line dominates the league in terms of points, goals, and plus minus, there are a couple of players of note who are also having quite remarkable seasons but are overshadowed by the top line for press.

Todd Marchant, the team's second line center, is on pace for a solid 70 point year, while young gun, Nicklas Backstrom has contributed an amazing 10 goals in 18 games of secondary scoring. Backstrom's on pace for over 40 goals and has been responsible for some of the most exciting rushes for the team as a result of his amazing talents.

Captain Doug Gilmore has been a leader in the dressingroom, but really hasn't shown up to the games yet this season, with only one point, and a few players manage to be minus 6 on a team with others with a plus 24 rating.

Its difficult to say what will happen as teams hit the quarter and mid-point of the season, but it is safe to say that the LA Kings look great and have taken the league by storm in an unexpected early run.
