There's a lot at stake when the Kings play host to the Ducks on Monday

The Kings have won three in a row and five of six, but that's only the second-best streak in Southern California. The Ducks have won six in a row and 10 of 11. Both teams see the game at Staples Center as a measuring stick.Despite winning three straight games and five of their last six, the Kings aren't the NHL's hottest team. They're not even the hottest team in Southern California.
