The L.A. Kings have lost three consecutive games in each of the last two rounds. They lost the first three against San Jose before winning four straight, then lost three consecutively after winning the first two against Anaheim (they closed out the series with two wins).
Now, the Kings are in danger of posting a third consecutive three-game losing streak, but if they do, that will be it for them. After earning an opportunity to close out Chicago in Game 5 and Game 6, Los Angeles fell short, and now faces the daunting task of beating the Blackhawks in the Windy City.
It should be said that just because the Kings have lost three in a row previously doesn’t mean they will do it again; it further needs to be stated that the team has made a mockery of the concept of “momentum” during its current playoff run.
Even so, the Kings enter this seventh game in great danger of letting a series they once had a solid grip on slip away, with this final contest virtually a coin flip between two incredible teams.
