The Los Angeles Kings have shown offensive promise, ranking seventh in the NHL with 61 goals, led by Adrian Kempe and Alex Laferriere. However, defensively, they have slipped to twelfth in goals allowed, raising concerns about their performance. The return of Drew Doughty could bolster their defense.
Special teams have been a mixed bag, with the penalty kill ranked sixteenth and a struggling power play at twenty-sixth. Goaltending issues persist, especially with Darcy Kuemper's injury, leaving the team reliant on David Rittich and Phoenix Copley.
