Overall, the 27-year-old netminder has a 15-14-6 record, a 3.21 GAA and a .904 save percentage across 36 outings this season. He'll draw a favorable matchup against the Kings, who rank 29th in the NHL with 2.62 goals per game this season. Woll profiles as a solid fantasy option in most league formats for Saturday's clash.
