The Winnipeg Jets will take on the Los Angeles Kings in an NHL match Free Live Streaming Online from the Staples Center at 10:00 PM ET

Late-season surges are becoming the norm for the Kings, and they're proving again that they should be considered dangerous come playoff time.

Los Angeles seeks a sixth straight victory as it kicks off a three-game homestand against the Jets on Saturday night.

The Kings went from eighth seed in the Western Conference to Stanley Cup champions in 2012, then made a run to the conference finals as a five seed last season before falling to Chicago in five games.

Los Angeles (43-25-6) seems to be getting hot at the right time again, putting together a winning streak that has all but secured third place in the Pacific Division and a date with either San Jose or Anaheim in the first round.

The Kings swept a three-game East Coast trip with Thursday's 3-2 victory over Pittsburgh, and they've won 12 of 15 since the Olympic break.

The Kings likely are too far behind to catch the division leader before the postseason. They had to contend with a groin injury to goaltender Jonathan Quick that forced him to miss 24 games earlier in the season, as well as a spotty offense that ranks near the bottom of the league in goals.

The addition of Marian Gaborik to add punch to the offense is reminiscent of the acquisition of Jeff Carter shortly before Los Angeles' run to the Stanley Cup, though. Gaborik has three goals and three assists since being acquired from Columbus at the trade deadline.

Quick has won four straight starts with a 1.68 goals-against average, but it was Martin Jones who made 35 saves Thursday as the Kings killed off all seven of Pittsburgh's power plays.

Quick likely will be back in net for this contest. He made 17 saves as Los Angeles fired 41 shots at Winnipeg in a 3-1 victory March 6.

The Jets (33-32-9) still possess extremely faint postseason hopes as they trail Phoenix by nine points for the West's second wild-card spot. They had lost nine of 11 before beating San Jose 4-3 on Thursday.
