Projected Lineups: Kings vs. Flames, Three Key Absences for LA

1 week ago | mayorsmanor.com | Noah Sher

One more... No need to waste much time, so let's jump right into it. Thursday night brings a rather meaningless regular season contest before the Kings kick off their playoff run vs. the Edmonton Oilers -- Monday evening, on home ice. For tonight’s regular season finale, the Calgary Flames are in town after recently having their playoff hopes snuffed thanks to a very hot St. Louis Blues team.

Now things get interesting. The Kings have accomplished what they set out to do by securing home-ice advantage for round one of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Now with two more games remaining on the regular season schedule, Los Angeles will look to get plenty of rest and remain healthy before a grueling series kicks off against Edmonton next weekend. Focus will also shift to the status of Quinton Byfield, who exited last night’s tilt against Edmonton with an upper-body injury.

Still a week away from postseason action, the Kings will get a quasi sneak peak at their first round opponent tonight as they are in Edmonton to take on the Oilers — who will be without Connor McDavid and Zach Hymen, among others. All things considered, a preview isn’t really needed by any means, as these clubs have grown all too familiar with each other over the last three seasons.

With less than one week remaining in the NHL’s 2024-25 regular-season, the Kings will host the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday afternoon at Crypto.com Arena, for what amounts to their penultimate home game before the playoffs begin. Distilling the pregame storylines down to the finest element, it all comes down to who will LA coach Jim Hiller start in goal? On one hand, the Kings are 3-7-0 against the Avs over their last ten head-to-head matchups.

It’s the final Freeway Faceoff of the season, as the Kings will look to bounce back against the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday night at Crypto.com Arena. For LA coach Jim Hiller and his group, there are two goals over the course of the next five games: get healthy and secure home ice. Alex Turcotte, Tanner Jeannot, Drew Doughty, and Joel Edmundson are all battling varying injuries right now, with the individual status of each player a bit unknown.

With six games remaining on their regular season schedule, the Kings are still searching for every point possible, as their final spot in the Pacific Division remains very much in flux. With one eye on a possible run at first place and another eye keeping on their four-point cushion for home ice advantage in Game 83, coach Jim Hiller’s squad will welcome the Seattle Kraken to town on Monday night.

Is today a preview of things to come? All signs point in that direction. Or do they? Heading into Saturday night’s contest, the Kings sit just three points back of first-place Vegas in the Pacific Division. With only seven games remaining on that 2024-25 regular season schedule, though, time is running out to close that gap. Which gets us back to Edmonton and the story everybody in hockey has been talking about for weeks — a likely fourth first-round playoff series between the Kings and Oilers.

Before the Kings can focus on their biggest game of the year on Saturday, they must first take care of business tonight in Utah. And for the sake of coach Jim Hiller’s sanity, he’s likely hoping this isn’t a trap game. Looking past this game and thinking about Edmonton shouldn’t even really be an option, as LA still has plenty to prove on the road.

Nine games remain on the Kings regular season schedule, and with each passing day, the race for home ice advantage seems to get more and more intense.

Projected Lineups: Kings vs. Sharks, More Questions than Answers

Following a hard-fought game with Toronto on Saturday afternoon that yielded a disappointing result, coach Jim Hiller’s LA Kings will get right back to work Sunday night to complete a back-to-back weekend set at Crypto.com Arena. Across the ice this time around will be the San Jose Sharks, for a game that brings far more questions than answers. Will David Rittich get the net after Darcy Kuemper started on Saturday? Most likely, but a swerve is never out of the question with Hiller.
