How will the Red Wings stack up against Los Angeles?

On paper, Los Angeles should be an improved hockey team this year.  The additions of Arvidsson, Edler, and Danault will provide more depth to a team that have missed the playoffs for three consecutive years.  The Red Wings will match up well against the Kings and you can expect a split in the season series.
