Led by Alec “Jazz Hands” Martinez, this team is focused on defense first, allowing fewer shots as the season has worn on. They have that “it” factor again, winning the 50/50 battles for loose pucks and being physically punishing with big bruising checking lines and talented up and coming players like Adrian Kempe and Christian Folin contributing to the defensive side of the puck.

Lucky bounces which some would suggest are just the fortune that comes from relentless fore-checking and tough defense are going the Kings’ way, and it starts on defense.

Jake Muzzin, along with Drew Doughty, are both known for their offensive prowess, and they are starting to play solid defense in front of Jonathan Quick.
