No team is more happy to come home these days than the Kings, back at Crypto.com for the first time in more than two weeks and an NHL-best 14-2-1 as host. A home-heavy part of the schedule also awaits after playing 26 of 43 away. David Rittich apparently gets the start in goal, which is good news at this venue as Rittich is 8-1-0 with a 1.79 GAA and .918 saves in his nine starts at Crytpto.com. Meanwhile the Penguins seem to be going nowhere, and their only win in the last five came when Alex Nedeljkovic became the first goalie to record a goal and an assist in the same game when the Pens beat the Sabres last Friday. Play Kings on Puck Line.

Pittsburgh has just two wins in its past 10 and likely starting goalie Monday Alex Nedeljkovic is a very mediocre 8-7-4 with a 3.33 GAA and an .890 save percentage. Los Angeles has won nine straight at home, where it plays for the first time since Jan. 4 due to the wildfires and then a road trip.
