Kings' 2025-26 Lineup Prediction
June 28th, 2020 It's hard to be part of an NHL franchise that's in a rebuild. The team loses more games than they win, fans stop showing up, and there is less of a buzz around the arena and the city. Luckily for the Los Angeles Kings, the ping pong balls fell the right way at last Friday's Draft Lottery. After moving up to the number two overall pick,...
Kings' Veterans Leading the Way
March 9th, 2020 It seems the Los Angeles Kings saved the best for last. With five straight wins, four against teams fighting for playoff spots, this team is thriving in the spoiler role, or you could say a snake in the grass. Anze Kopitar – The Head of the Snake “When you have him as the head of the snake, it makes it easier for the coaching...
Kings Superstar Kopitar May Be the Greatest Ever
December 20th, 2019 Having just passed the Great One Wayne Gretzky on his team’s all-time scoring list, Anze Kopitar can realistically be called the greatest Los Angeles Kings player ever. Ex-Los Angeles Kings forward Wayne Gretzky - (Photo By Andrew D. Bernstein/Getty Images) Look at it this way: Gretzky (918 points) will go down in history as the...
Los Angeles Kings 2019-20 Season Preview & Predictions
October 4th, 2019 The best month of the calendar year has finally arrived for hockey fans: October. For Los Angeles Kings fans, this means everything that has transpired during the team’s offseason will be put to the test.

Brown Injury Forcing Kings to Pivot
October 2nd, 2018 News Flash: the Los Angeles Kings had an abysmal preseason. The team's lackluster showing over the past month came to a miserable end on Saturday night, with a 3-0 defeat at the hands of interstate rivals, the Anaheim Ducks. The loss capped off a preseason to forget, that netted an uninspiring 1-6-1 record. This futile showing is a...
Is Max Pacioretty Done as Habs' Captain?
May 24th, 2018 In 2014-15, the Montreal Canadiens responded to the departure of former captain Brian Gionta by naming four alternate captains - Max Pacioretty, P.K. Subban, Andrei Markov, and Tomas Plekanec. The lack of a captain didn't hurt the team much, as they won 50 games for the first time since the Stanley Cup finalist team of 1988-89. It could...
Kings & Carter: Can Lightning Strike Twice?
April 7th, 2018 When the Los Angeles Kings won the Stanley Cup for the first time in franchise history in 2012, the acquisition of Jeff Carter just before the trade deadline was one of the main reasons why. He jump-started a struggling offense and gave the Kings depth down the middle that they had been sorely lacking. This season, Carter missed 55...
Brown Set to Make Kings History
December 20th, 2017 We're two-and-a-half months into the 2017-18 NHL season and things really couldn't have gone much better for John Stevens' Los Angeles Kings so far.

LA Kings Defense Fueling Their Offense
October 21st, 2017 Fans of the Los Angeles Kings have a lot to be happy about right now because they’re starting to win games like they used to. For Dean Lombardi, the Kings’ previous general manager, if getting fired wasn’t bad enough, getting fired and having the team win without him must feel even worse. After finishing the season at 22nd overall...
Dustin Brown Enjoying Career Renaissance
October 20th, 2017 At the end of last season, Los Angeles Kings forward Dustin Brown was written off by many as being past his prime. He's too old, he's not scoring anymore, and he's certainly not worth the $5.875 million he'll be receiving every year until he becomes a free agent following the 2021-22 season, critics said. A quick look at his...
Kings: Unlocking Drew Doughty
October 19th, 2017 For a player with a resume that reads like the one Los Angeles Kings defenceman Drew Doughty has put together, it would seem hard to believe he still might have more to give. However, with longtime head coach Darryl Sutter no longer in the mix and the possibility of the Kings playing a bit more of an offensive style, no one should be...
Overtime With BSC: Kings Returning to Stanley Cup Form
October 18th, 2017 Fans of the Los Angeles Kings are being treated to tremendous hockey right now. After missing the playoffs twice in the last three seasons and being bounced in five games in the first round of the 2016 NHL postseason, it finally looks like the team is putting it back together and returning to Stanley Cup contention. Though it's still...
Which King Will the Golden Knights Select?
May 30th, 2017 The NHL Expansion Draft is less than a month away, and new Los Angeles Kings GM Rob Blake and President Luc Robitaille have to decide who they will protect, and who they will expose to the Vegas Golden Knights. The Kings can choose to protect seven forwards and three defencemen, or they can protect extra defencemen and go with the four...
