WATCH Blackhawks vs. Kings Live Stream Online: NHL 2015 Week 4, GameDay Coverage

Hockey's back for the official 2015-2016 NHL season, so get ready, MstarsNews readers!

The Chicago Blackhawks battle it out on the ice against the Los Angeles Kings in Week 4 of the regular season on Monday, November 2 at 8:30 p.m. EST from United Center in Illinois. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the Monday evening hockey game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

To kick-off Week 3, Chicago falls to a rather neutral spot in Adrian Dater's official NHL power rankings for BleacherReport.com, while LA now snags a Top 10 standing (out of a total 30 teams):

Kings (6): "After looking dreadful in the first three games, all regulation losses, coach Darryl Sutter and his boys have turned it around. Los Angeles takes a seven-game winning streak into Monday's marquee matchup in Chicago. The Kings will have to play the next night in St. Louis, so we'll really see where this team is after those two probably. Nobody expected the Kings to stay as bad as they were, but nobody predicted a seven-game win streak after that first week's games, either. The Kings are doing it their usual way, with puck possession and play in the other end. How about Tyler Toffoli too? The big winger has nine goals in his first 10 games to put him unexpectedly among the league leaders... He has played better of late, but one player stiff scuffling offensively somewhat is No. 1 center Anze Kopitar. Shockingly, Kopitar is still looking for his first assist of the season. This is a player who has had 40 or more assists in a season seven times in his career. More out of linemate Marian Gaborik would be just fine with Sutter too. The veteran has but two points on the season (one goal, one assist)."

Record: 7-3-0 (1st in Pacific Division).

Blackhawks (13): "If not for Jonathan Toews' overtime heroics of late, the Blackhawks might be in some real trouble, especially being in the brutally tough Central Division. As expected, Chicago's possession game has taken a hit since Conn Smythe winner Duncan Keith became sidelined with a knee injury... Chicago's Corsi For Percentage, according to puckalytics.com, is 51.8. It was 53.6 in 2014-15, second only to Los Angeles. The Blackhawks have a big game Monday night at home against the red-hot Kings. It'll be a good test of where they stand, whether a few early-season losses are not reason for concern or whether there is more of a problem than people realize, Keith or no Keith."

Record: 6-4-0 (6th in Central Division).
