WATCH Red Wings vs. Kings Live Stream Online: NHL Top Division Teams 2016, Playoff Updates

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

The Detroit Red Wings battle it out on the ice against the Los Angeles Kings in Week 11 of the regular season on Monday, January 11 at 10:30 p.m. EST from the Staples Center in California. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the highly-anticipated Monday evening hockey game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

Now heading into mid-season, both Detroit and LA still maintain impressive top spots in Scott Burnside's official NHL power rankings for ESPN.com (out of a total 30 teams):

Kings (5): "The Kings welcome Vincent Lecavalier and Luke Schenn and continue to roll, going 6-1-1 in their last eight as the undisputed rulers of the Pacific while also taking aim at the big boys from the Central for the top seed in the West."

Record: 26-12-3 (1st in Pacific Division).

Red Wings (7): "The Wings have put together a nice little four-game win streak after poor play over the last month, capped by Sunday's 2-1 win over the Ducks. They still have to look over their collective shoulders at the Bruins, Lightning and Senators in the tightly bunched Atlantic, but it has been a nice stretch of quality hockey for the Wings."

Record: 22-13-7 (2nd in Atlantic Division).

Tonight's monumental game will be broadcasted live on your local sports channels FSDT and FSW.
