Finding Hyman
LA haven't been exceptional lately and game is in LA where the Kings have been .500 all season. I expect the Oilers to take this one.The LAK game will be one of those that is worth 2 points in the standings and 100 points for confidence.
Interesting thing in LA is that it isn't PLD thats causing some concern. Fiala is playing like junk and only concerned with producing. He's giving pucks away like crazy and was benched recently for it. Kempe looking off this season mostly. Did get a couple weak garbage goals against the weak ass sharks but has been snakebit. Kopitar starting to show age.
Fiala is guaranteed to cough up pucks. Just pressure him and he'll make the most ridiculous plays that coaches hate. The guy has so much skill but lacks a sensible play neuron.
But Fiala has been this his whole career. A high event player either way when he's on ice. He's just not responsible with puck and LA, top defensive team even seem unable to change him.
The Kings are actually trying to give Fiala responsible Centers like Danault and he still finds a way to sink himself. He's the only topsix player in LA that gets outscored. Fiala should be benched and he's not even scoring.
