Coming off a rare, come-from-behind win over Dallas, the surging Kings host Central power Minnesota and star winger Kirill Kaprizov on Saturday

Fresh off their first two-goal comeback of the season in a rare win over the Dallas Stars, the Kings will welcome the cream of the Central Division, the Minnesota Wild, on Saturday.
Against Dallas, the Kings ran an 11-7 alignment for the first time this season, which gave them an extra defenseman and free reign to slice and dice their forward lines throughout the match. “I played a lot of 11 forwards last year, I’m really comfortable with that. It’s almost a preference at times, to be honest with you,” Hiller said before the Dallas game, hinting at his decision. “Everybody has played with everybody. If you’re a good player, you can play with else. I don’t think chemistry seems to be a huge issue.”
“In the end, you’ve got to find a way to win and I thought that’s what we’ve done here the last three games, is find a way to win in the third, and you don’t just get lucky,” Hiller said. Winger Kirill Kaprizov has been the NHL’s leading scorer at various points, including as recently as Thursday. Entering Friday’s docket, he had three more even-strength points than any other player in the league. Like their star, the Wild has excelled five-on-five, though less so in both areas of special teams. Minnesota has been the league’s stingiest team in terms of its fewest goals allowed and highest save percentage.
