The Los Angeles Kings have regained their mojo after a rough stretch in the middle of November and go after a fifth consecutive victory when they visit the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday night. The Kings sprinted to a 9-1-1 start, but a 1-6-1 slump from November 9-24 knocked them out of first place in the Western Division before allowing five goals during their current streak.

The Winnipeg Jets woke up Saturday morning in first place in the Western Conference, but there is not a lot of celebrating entering Sunday’s home contest against the Ottawa Senators. The Jets, who have never won a playoff game in franchise history, improved to 8-0-1 in their last nine home games with a 7-4 victory over Vegas on Friday thanks to three power-play goals and continued production from all four lines.

The Vegas Golden Knights hope to avoid registering the longest losing streak in the club’s first season of existence when they host the Arizona Coyotes on Sunday night. The Golden Knights have dropped three in a row for the second time after a 7-4 setback at Winnipeg on Friday and attempt to continue their strong work at home where they are 9-2-0, including a 5-2 victory against Arizona on Oct. 10.

Nathan MacKinnon was named the NHL’s No. 1 Star of the Month for November and looks to get going after a slow start to December when his Colorado Avalanche host the Central Division-rival Dallas Stars on Sunday night. MacKinnon accumulated five goals and 15 assists in 12 games during November, but was kept off the scoresheet in Friday’s 2-1 loss to New Jersey despite five shots on net.
