The Los Angeles Kings and Anaheim Ducks both head into their Freeway Face-Off showdown at Anaheim on Friday afternoon coming off a pair of impressive bounce-back wins.

Los Angeles, which gave up five third-period goals in an embarrassing 7-2 loss to the last-place San Jose Sharks on Monday, rebounded with a 4-1 home victory over the NHL points-leading Winnipeg Jets on Wednesday.
