According to Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site, Petersen was the first goalie off the ice at morning skate, putting him on track to guard the road goal during Wednesday's matchup with Edmonton.

EDGE Analysis

Petersen wasn't great in his last start Saturday against Detroit, surrendering three goals on just 21 shots, but he was still able to come away with a win thanks to strong goal support from his teammates. The 28-year-old goaltender will try to secure a second straight victory in a road matchup with an Oilers team that's averaging 3.78 goals per game at home this season, seventh in the NHL.

Petersen stopped 18 of 21 shots in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Red Wings.

EDGE Analysis

Petersen's seen his opportunities dry up with the success of Jonathan Quick. Despite the lackluster numbers Saturday, Petersen was able to emerge with his fourth win in six outings this season. He's added a 4.06 GAA and an .867 save percentage -- those numbers suggest he'll remain in a backup role, especially while Quick is playing well. The Kings begin a road trip up north Monday in Calgary.

Petersen will start Saturday's home game against Detroit, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Petersen last played Nov. 1 in a 5-2 loss to Dallas. He has a 3-2-0 record this season with a 4.30 GAA and an .868 save percentage. Petersen posted a 21-save shutout win against the Red Wings last season. Detroit has lost two straight contests (0-1-1) going into Saturday's matchup with the Kings, scoring just two goals in each game.

Petersen yielded five goals on 40 shots during a 5-2 defeat to the Stars on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Petersen, who has dropped two of his past three decisions, couldn't withstand the constant offense the Stars generated Tuesday. The 28-year netminder allowed one goal on 18 shots during the first period but yielded three second-period goals in 1 minute, 30 seconds. On Saturday, overcoming the pressure of not starting in nine days, Petersen earned a 26-save win over the struggling Maple Leafs. On Tuesday, Petersen (3-2-0) failed to withstand the game-changing barrage.

Petersen will guard the road goal versus the Stars on Tuesday, Matthew DeFranks of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Petersen won his last start with 26 saves on 28 shots versus the Maple Leafs. He'll make his fifth appearance this year while playing the second half of a back-to-back after Jonathan Quick cruised to a win Monday over the Blues. Petersen is 3-1-0 this year, but he has allowed 14 goals in 104 shots.

Petersen made 26 saves in a 4-2 win over the Maple Leafs on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

It was a nice rebound for Petersen who only lasted one period against the Penguins during his last start. But let's be honest -- the Leafs played like a Ferrari that needed a tune-up, so it wasn't as tough an outing as it should have been. Petersen is now 3-1, but needs a few more solid outings to see his GAA and save percentage start to rebalance. He went into Saturday with a 4.97 GAA and .842 save percentage.

Petersen will start Saturday at home against Toronto, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Petersen is off to a rough start, allowing 12 goals over his first three starts. On the plus side, he'll be up against the Maple Leafs, whose offense hasn't gotten going yet this season. Toronto has averaged just 2.75 goals per game, which is tied for the fifth worst in the league. However, ranked second in 2021-22 with 3.80 goals per game and their core forwards from last year are still there. The Maple Leafs may have gotten off to a slow start, but they're still a big threat.

Petersen stopped six of nine shots before being replaced by Jonathan Quick to begin the second period of Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

Quick didn't fare much better, allowing three goals and 25 shots over the final two periods, but it was Petersen who got stuck with the loss. The 28-year-old netminder had won his first two starts of the season but given up nine goals doing so, and he'll need better performances to challenge Quick for the top job with the Kings.

Petersen was the first goaltender off the ice Thursday, per Pens Inside Scoop indicating he will be in the road goal against Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

Petersen is 2-0-0 this season, giving up six goals on 35 shots in a win over Minnesota in his first start while improving Tuesday as he gave up three goals on 32 shots in a 4-3 win over Nashville. Petersen will make his second straight start as he faces the Penguins who are 2-0-1 after a 3-2 overtime loss to the Canadiens on Monday.

Petersen stopped 29 of 32 shots in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Petersen looked better in his second start of the year after allowing six goals to the Wild on Saturday. He kept the Kings in it by keeping the Predators off the board in the third period, allowing Matt Roy to tie the game with a pair of goals. In the shootout, Petersen stopped all three attempts to secure his second win in as many outings. He still hasn't looked all that confident, but he's getting the results that have been more elusive for Jonathan Quick in the early going. The Kings' road trip continues Thursday in Pittsburgh.
