This game was reminiscent of last season's LA Kings team.
The LA Kings will likely abandon the 11 forwards and seven defensemen format they deployed against the Stars.

Confidence is a word Kempe uses a lot and he's clearly flowing with confidence this season.
Newfound depth has turned what was an impotent offense last season, into a high-flying, explosive offense this season.
Vilardi's been the team's best forward, routinely taking over whole shifts and imposing himself on the opposition.
