Dustin Brown scored the lone goal in the defeat to snap a five-game goal-scoring drought, and the Kings former captain will try to build off that against a team he dominated last season.Brown scored just 11 goals in 82 games in 2015-16, but five of them came against Arizona. Three of Browns 19 career goals against the Coyotes were game-winners.With games on back-to-back nights, the Kings may go with Jeff Zatkoff in goal over Peter Budaj, who is excelling in place of Jonathan Quick.A groin injury has limited Zatkoff to just four games, including three starts. Despite an 0-3-0 record with a 3.39 goals-against average and .875 save percentage, Zatkoff he is ready to make his first start since Nov. 11, if neededIve been around long enough.

The Coyotes (8-10-3) could be without a key player for this contest.

Coming into this contest, he is in a four-way tie for second on the team with five goals, and he is tied for third with 10 points.Its something hes dealing with, but everyone is dealing with something at this point of the season, Arizona general manager John Chayka told the Coyotes official website. We hope hes in the lineup (Thursday) because hes our star player.Another star who is shining for the Coyotes is Mike Smith. He made 40 saves against San Jose, and he is 2-0-1 this season when facing at least 40 shots. Smith won four of his past six starts against Los Angeles, posting a 1.97 goals-against average and a .948 save percentage.Smith missed 12 games with a lower-body injury before returning on Oct. 16. In his past six games, Smith surrendered two goals or fewer five times, posting a 3-1-2 record.Overall, hes in a really good place, and that gives us a chance to win every night, Chayka said.
