Bad News For Kopitar & Kings, But Another Forward Close To Returning

The LA Kings have started the 2025-26 season with a record of 1-3-1, but things get worse. The team has now lost its captain and top line center, Anze Kopitar, for the time being. It was reported that he will be out week-to-week with a foot injury after being hit in the foot by a puck in the previous game against the Minnesota Wild .

A solid secondary scorer has apparently caught the attention of the Edmonton Oilers. Los Angeles Kings forward Adrian Kempe has begun the final season of his contract, with many wondering what the future could be between the player and the team. On Thursday, David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period hopped on Oilersnation Everyday to discuss the matter. He…

Filip Hallander’s long journey back to the Penguins finally pays off

It has been seven years since the Pittsburgh Penguins selected Filip Hallander in the second-round of the 2018 NHL Draft. On Thursday, he finally scored his first NHL goal as part of their 4-2 win over the Los Angeles Kings. It’s been a long journey for Hallander to get here in his NHL career, especially […]

Pens Points: A win in the City of Angels

Here are your Pens Points for this Friday morning… The Pittsburgh Penguins visited the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday night as the West Coast swing rolls on. It was anything but pretty for the Penguins early on, but goals on the power-play and penalty kill lifted the team to a 4-2 win over the Kings. […]

Teams 'Lurking In The Weeds' As Kempe Contract Talks On Pause

Pending unrestricted free agent Adrian Kempe is off to a sensational start to the NHL season, as if to put an emphatic stamp on extension talks with the Los Angeles Kings . The price, it seems, keeps going up, so much so that the two sides have hit the pause button for now.  The latest report from insider David Pagnotta, speaking on the Oilersnation Everyday podcast, said the $9M or $10M AAV numbers the two sides were haggling over this summer have gone up (thanks largely to the Kirill Ka...

Jesper Wallstedt Finally Got To Be A Normal Goalie

When Marco Rossi scored a goal to put the Minnesota Wild ahead 1-0 in the fourth round of the shootout, all eyes went back to the other end of the ice. How would Jesper Wallstedt -- who'd already turned away Adrian Kempe, Trevor Moore, and Kevin Fiala -- hold up in a huge-pressure situation? If...

Wild Earn Gutsy Shootout Win Over Kings

That's Wild The Minnesota Wild are back to their winning ways. After dominating the St. Louis Blues and following up that season-opening win with a floundering loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets, the Wild were able to survive a late-game comeback against the Los Angeles Kings on Monday night...

GM #2: Los Angeles Kings @ Winnipeg Jets

The Winnipeg Jets ( 0-1-0 ) will be looking for their first win on the season when the Los Angeles Kings ( 1-1-0 ) visit the Canada Life Centre on Saturday afternoon. On a day where all 32 National Hockey League franchises are in action, our club will get the opportunity to kick off the day’s first match. The Jets clearly missed defensive stalwart Dylan Samberg in the opener, as they allowed the Dallas Stars so many scoring chances in the opening match. Despite that fact, coaches Scott Ar...

Los Angeles Kings Playoff Preview

New year, same story, still hoping for a different ending. Deeply concerning defensive lapses aside to the second worst team in the NHL this year and nearly snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, the Los Angeles Kings, with the help of the Vegas Golden Knights not showing up to their game against the Anaheim Ducks, managed to solidify their standing of 3rd place in the Pacific Division, giving them, for the third straight year, the Edmonton Oilers as their playoff opponent. ...

LA Kings Are Playoff Bound

The real postseason push begins now as the team has a lot of unfinished business to complete. Here’s a quick look at the rest of their season and potential playoff matchups. Tuesday’s 4-1 victory over the struggling Calgary Flames sealed the Los Angeles Kings’ postseason bid, officially clinching a berth in this year’s Stanley Cup playoffs. In true Kings fashion, it took a little extra longer than would’ve been comfortable, nearly coming down to the wire unlike years past when they h...

Top LA Kings Are 30, Flirty & Thriving

Seasoned Kings players defy aging stereotypes, leading with skill and experience on and off the ice. With graying hair and slight hints of wrinkles around their eyes and smiles, a few LA Kings players are beginning to show their age off the ice. On the ice, there’s little sign that their 30+ year old bodies have been through the ringer throughout their careers. At 36 years old, Anze Kopitar is still highly productive in all areas of the ice. He may not be a corsi god (that honor...

The LA Kings’ March to the Playoffs

December brought with it its usual slate of chilly challenges and the team often struggled to rise to the occasion. With 20 games left, can they do it?

GDT: LA!

Photo by Bruce Bennett Studios via Getty Images Studios/Getty Images It’s the King’s tonight. I have this theory on the West. It’s WIDE OPEN. I’m not seeing a clearcut favorite or clearcut easy opponent. If Vegas and Colorado were at 100% then I’d say them without hesitation. LA is a beautiful team but the goaltending situation (while slightly improved) isn’t the best. We have a beautiful group of 4 forwards outscoring opponents and hiding a lot of mistakes. We don’t have a legit go...

Kings at Blues GameDay Thread

Can the Blues turn around a sinking ship? To say that the Blues’ play as of late has been uninspiring is being very generous. Mired in their longest regulation losing streak since Craig Berube took over as coach, the pressure is on for this team to play as well as they did during the first three games. Brandon Saad is still out for tonight, but the team has options, and they’ve chosen to exercise them. From stlblues.com, here’re tonight’s lines: Forwards Schenn - O’Reilly - Kyrou Buchn...

Kings at Blues preview: Struggling Blues need some consistent effort

Photo by Joe Puetz/NHLI via Getty Images What is going on with this team? It’s been a while since Blues fans have been treated to a stretch of play this putrid. What began as a good effort loss to the Winnipeg Jets last week has slid into an absolute dumpster fire in which it looks like the Blues are actively trying to lose games. Their 6-2 loss against the Nashville Predators was bad, but their 7-4 loss on Saturday night against the Montreal Canadiens was atrocious. A blown 3-1 lead sl...

Canadiens at Blues GameDay Thread

Photo by Dilip Vishwanat/Getty Images What lines will we see tonight against the Habs? If you saw the news that Pavel Buchnevich was activated from the IR and got very happy about the prospects for tonight’s game, well... Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it doesn’t look like he’ll be in. He’s getting one more game’s worth of rest before returning Monday night against the Los Angeles Kings, and honestly, a healthy Buchnevich is worth one more game out. Will that make a win again...
