VS. CHICAGO

Time: 7:30.

On the air: TV: WGN. Radio: 1150.

Where: Staples Center.

Records: Kings 19-20-7; Blackhawks 26-12-8.

Record vs. Blackhawks: 1-0.

Update: The Kings scored 11 goals in winning their last two games before the All-Star break, their most productive two-game span this season. But they’re still among the lowest-scoring teams in the West and in the NHL. Jonathan Quick was the winning goalie in both those games, at Minnesota and at Colorado, ending a personal three-game losing streak. He’s scheduled to start again tonight. Forward Oscar Moller (fractured clavicle) is skating but still wearing the yellow no-contact jersey in practice.
