Los Angeles Kings vs. Pittsburgh Penguins FRee Live STreaming Online NHL Hockey from the Consol Energy Center at 7:00 PM ET

The surging Kings are hitting on all cylinders with the playoffs approaching.

The same can't be said for the Penguins, who have had a rough go over the last week-plus.

On the verge of matching the longest road winning streak in team history, the Kings try to add to the Penguins' woes Thursday night.

Los Angeles (42-25-6) has allowed 1.9 goals per game in winning four straight and 12 of 15, and it's won all seven on the road since the Olympic break. The Kings put together eight consecutive victories away from home in 1974-75.

They stayed hot with Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win at Washington. Los Angeles allowed the game's first two goals and trailed 3-1 at the end of the second period before going up 4-3 with seven minutes left in the third.

Los Angeles occupies the third and final playoff spot in the Pacific Division, eight points ahead of Phoenix with nine games remaining for each team.

The Kings now try to pick up a rare win against the Penguins, who are 6-1-0 in the series since 2006-07 after a 4-1 win at Los Angeles on Jan. 30.

The Kings are 0-2-1 in their last three visits to Pittsburgh since a 3-0 victory Oct. 10, 2003, but they may be able to break through if the Penguins' recent play is any indication.

The Penguins took five penalties against the Coyotes, including three in the third period as they tried to tie the score.

Marc-Andre Fleury dropped to 0-3-1 with a 3.76 goals-against average in his last five starts, his longest winless stretch in more than two years. He is 4-1-0 with a 2.31 GAA in his past five meetings against the Kings.

Los Angeles' Jonathan Quick is 1-2-2 with a 2.90 GAA versus Pittsburgh.
