LOS ANGELES — Chances were aplenty, but the Kings couldn’t capitalize on almost all of them on Monday night against the Seattle Kraken, who won 2-1. Not having defensemen Joel Edmundson and Drew Doughty in the lineup due to minor wounds was a setback for LA, and the team played the third period without scoring leader Adrian Kempe after he left the game early.

LOS ANGELES — No Connor McDavid. No Leon Draisaitl. No Mattias Ekholm. No Stuart Skinner. Those are just a portion of the injured scratches that sat out for the Edmonton Oilers in a critical bout with the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday. With that in mind, LA played its brand of hockey and won 3-0 on home ice. In a game that could’ve been telling of what a potential playoff matchup would look like in a few weeks, the Oilers’ wounded corps meant this game was a one-sided affair in favor of Los Angeles.

LOS ANGELES — Going 3-0-0 in a season against the Western Conference’s best isn’t too shabby. At no point in the season did the Los Angeles Kings see the Winnipeg Jets as a wall in their way. Like in many intense matchups this season, they instead rose to the occasion and stuck to their guns. LA took down Winnipeg 4-1 on Tuesday night after scoring twice in the first period and never looking back.

LOS ANGELES — The LA Kings certainly remembered the last two times they played the San Jose Sharks before taking them down in an 8-1 blowout on Sunday. The last-place Sharks had taken down LA in 4-2 and 7-2 results in October and November, respectively, urging the Kings to finally take them seriously. Los Angeles, coming off a Saturday night loss against Toronto, evened the season series at two, erupting for a season-high eight scores with four in the second period.
