NHL 24 Projected Ratings: LA Kings Edition

I, for one, have played the franchise mode in NHL by EA Sports more than I’d like to admit. What do I always notice? The LA Kings rarely get the love they deserve through EA Sports. I recall NHL 16′ for example. Milan Lucic was an 88 in Boston, but once he came to LA: […]

Line Over the Boards Apr 24th: All Knotted Heading Back to Edmonton 2-2

Last night’s game was more of the same for the LA Kings, with a few wrinkles. Kevin Fiala returned for the Kings and made an immediate impact with two assists in the 1st period, where the Kings came out and. built a 3-0 lead after one. However, LA showed up flat in the 2nd period […]

As Injuries Plague LA, Kaliyev Gets Opportunity to Shine

The Injury-Plagued Kings Finally Bare Teeth

The Kings have been on the receiving end of some particularly dirty plays. Whether they got called for the exact nature of the incident is pointless now.

Line Over the Boards Apr 10th: The Return of the Kings

The Los Angeles Kings closed their season at home with a win last evening, reflecting what Kings fans became accustomed to seeing post-trade deadline. A 3-0 shutout was a great way to end the season at home and turn the page on a rough last ten games in which the Kings have gone 5-5. When […]

How Are the Kings Winning?

Going into the season, many figured that the Pacific Division’s top teams would consist of the Calgary Flames (last year’s division winners), Edmonton Oilers, and the Vegas Golden Knights.

The Ducks traveled up the 5 Freeway and lost 4-1 at the hands of the Los Angeles Kings to cap off a five game road trip that the Ducks were able to come away with two wins. This was another one of those games where the Ducks came out strong but ran out of steam […]
