Old enemies meet in the NHL on Friday, as the Anaheim Ducks and Los Angeles Kings will write a new chapter in the Freeway Face-Off rivalry at Honda Center.
The two sides clash for the 175th time, including postseason games, with the Kings having won 84 meetings and the Ducks 61. To add even more fuel to the fire, there's only one point separating the team in the Pacific Division, and the Kings have a chance to replace their rivals in the top spot.
Los Angeles has just bounced back from three consecutive losses, beating the Ottawa Senators 2-1 on home ice Monday night. Darcy Kuemper did a fabulous job between the sticks, and LA's power play, which has struggled, came up with a huge goal 6:10 from the end of regulation.
The Ducks are having a great season, but they aren't a flawless team. Only six teams have a worse penalty-killing percentage than Anaheim this season, meaning the Kings' power play could decide another contest on Friday.
Anaheim has just lost to a divisional rival, falling 5-4 at home to the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday. The team will now try to avoid dropping back-to-back games for only the third time this season.

Our Anaheim Ducks vs Los Angeles Kings Prediction
The total for Friday's game has been set at 6.0 goals, but historically, this matchup tends to be low-scoring. Although the Kings won the last meeting 6-1, the previous six regular-season encounters each had five or fewer goals.
Recently, 2-1 has been the most popular scoreline in Kings games, as the team has played solid defensive hockey. In November, only three of the Kings' 11 games have had more than six goals, and it could be another tight contest at Honda Center on Friday, as both sides want to avoid a loss to their fierce rivals.
Our prediction for Los Angeles Kings vs. Anaheim Ducks : Under 6.0 goals.
