Pittsburgh @ Los Angeles preview

Last Meeting ( Dec 15, 2018 ) Los Angeles 3, Pittsburgh 4

The Pittsburgh Penguins attempt to extend their road winning streak to seven when they continue their five-game trip Saturday against the Los Angeles Kings. Pittsburgh kicked off its trek with a 7-4 victory in Anaheim on Friday - its second straight seven-goal performance away from home and the third time in four road contests it has netted at least six tallies.

The Penguins worked hard to post their 10th win in 11 overall games as they trailed 3-0 after one period but rallied with the help of Jake Guentzel's second hat trick of the season. The 24-year-old left wing is riding a five-game point streak during which he has registered five goals and three assists. Los Angeles has lost four of its first five games this month, scoring a total of four goals in the setbacks. The Kings rallied from a two-goal deficit in Pittsburgh on Dec. 15 before dropping a 4-3 decision in overtime.

Tanner Pearson, who was acquired from Los Angeles in November, has scored three of his eight goals with Pittsburgh in his last two games.

ABOUT THE KINGS (17-25-3): Kyle Clifford scored Los Angeles' lone goal in Thursday's 4-1 home loss to Ottawa, his second tally in three contests.
