  • Kings' Artemi Panarin: Scores lone goal again

    Panarin scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Avalanche in Game 2.

    Panarin has scored both of the Kings' goals this postseason, and they've both been on the power play. While it's good to see the Kings' big trade acquisition live up to the hype, Panarin can't carry the team all by himself, as they're now facing a 2-0 deficit in this first-round series. Look for Panarin to remain a threat to produce offense as the series shifts to Los Angeles for Game 3 on Thursday and Game 4 on Sunday.

  • Kings' Anton Forsberg: Comes up short again

    Forsberg allowed two goals on 36 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Avalanche in Game 2.

    Forsberg has allowed just six goals on 87 shots over his last three outings, but he's gone winless in those games. The 33-year-old is still playing well enough to keep the Kings competitive, so it seems likely he'll get a chance to show what he can do on home ice in Game 3 on Thursday. Forsberg will need more than one goal of support per game, which is all the help he's received so far this postseason.

  • Kings' Anton Forsberg: Set to start Game 2

    Forsberg is expected to get the nod on the road against Colorado in Game 2 on Tuesday, per Aarif Deen of Colorado Hockey Now.

    Forsberg allowed just two goals on 34 shots in a Game 1 loss. In his last eight appearances, the netminder has given up three or more goals just once, posting a combined 5-2-0 record and 1.49 GAA. Despite Forsberg's strong run of form, if he struggles, he could find himself replaced in the crease by Darcy Kuemper.

  • Kings' Brandt Clarke: Adds power-play helper

    Clarke logged a power-play assist in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Avalanche in Game 1.

    Clarke hasn't scored a goal since March 2, and he was limited to just two assists over his last 14 games of the regular season. The 23-year-old defenseman will be tasked with key top-four minutes this postseason after seeing limited action with two goals over six games while averaging 12:47 of ice time versus the Oilers in the first round last year. Clarke had a career-high 40 points, including 13 on the power play, over 82 regular-season outings in 2025-26.

  • Kings' Artemi Panarin: Tallies late to break up shutout

    Panarin scored a power-play goal on two shots in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Avalanche in Game 1.

    Panarin surged down the stretch with 27 points over the last 26 games of the regular season to help the Kings win a battle for a wild-card spot. He totaled 84 points (23 on the power play) and 224 shots on net and a minus-7 rating over 78 outings between the Kings and the Rangers in the regular season. Panarin is a lock for point-per-game production in the regular season, but he hasn't displayed offense as consistently in the playoffs, earning 21 goals and 40 helpers over 73 postseason outings across eight previous playoff runs.

  • Kings' Anton Forsberg: Tough loss to Avs in Game 1

    Forsberg made 28 saves on 30 shots Sunday during the Kings' 2-1 loss to the Avalanche in Game 1 of their first-round series.

    The veteran netminder played well, but Los Angeles' offense couldn't solve Scott Wedgewood until there was less than three minutes left in the third period. Forsberg hasn't allowed more than three goals in an outing in over a month, posting a stellar 1.67 GAA and .940 save percentage over his last nine appearances as he seized the No. 1 job in the Kings' crease from Darcy Kuemper. Forsberg will likely be between the pipes again in Game 2 on Tuesday.

  • Kings' Anton Forsberg: Earns Game 1 starting nod

    Forsberg led the Kings out for warmups Sunday and will start Game 1 against the Avalanche, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

    Forsberg spent much of the season as Darcy Kuemper's backup, playing in just 36 games in the regular season, but Forsberg will get the nod in goal for Game 1. The 33-year-old Forsberg earned it with a fantastic month of April, going 5-1-0 with a 1.48 GAA and a .944 save percentage. On the flip side, Kuemper allowed 19 goals over his final four starts of his regular season. Forsberg will have his hands full with the Avalanche, who led the league with 3.63 goals per game in the regular season.

  • Kings' Jeff Malott: Moves past injury

    Malott (undisclosed) will be an option for Game 1 against Colorado on Sunday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

    Malott is available to return after sitting out the last four games. He finished the 2025-26 regular season with three goals, nine points, 54 shots on net, 166 hits and 55 PIM in 58 appearances.

  • Kings' Alex Turcotte: Available for Game 1

    Turcotte (undisclosed) has been cleared to play ahead of Sunday's road clash against the Avalanche in Game 1, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

    Turcotte missed eight consecutive games to close out the regular season, but will be available for the Kings' first-round playoff series opener. He was cleared for action Saturday alongside Jeff Malott (undisclosed) and Andrei Kuzmenko (knee), but all three likely won't be in the lineup together. Across 62 regular-season games in 2025-26, Turcotte had three goals, 14 points, 67 shots on net, 51 hits and 33 blocked shots.

  • Kings' Andrei Kuzmenko: Available to return

    Kuzmenko (knee) is expected to be activated from injured reserve ahead of Game 1 against Colorado on Sunday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

    Kuzmenko participated in Saturday's practice, and he is available to return to the lineup after missing 25 games due to knee surgery. He had 13 goals, 25 points and 69 shots on net over 52 appearances before getting hurt.

  • Kings' Pheonix Copley: Summoned from AHL

    Copley was recalled from AHL Ontario on Saturday.

    Copley will probably serve as a depth option for the Kings in the playoffs behind Darcy Kuemper and Anton Forsberg. The 34-year-old Copley has earned a 21-11-1 record with a 2.59 GAA and a .901 save percentage in 33 AHL appearances this season.

  • Kings' Martin Chromiak: Gathers three points in AHL win

    Chromiak scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Ontario's 4-1 win over San Diego on Friday.

    Chromiak has put up steady offense lately with seven goals and five assists over his last 10 outings. The forward has taken a bit step forward with 28 goals and 56 points over 70 outings with the Reign this season. The 23-year-old is still grinding in the AHL as he awaits his first chance to play at the NHL level.

  • Kings' Kenny Connors: Three-point effort Friday

    Connors scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Ontario's 4-1 win over San Diego on Friday.

    Connors crossed the 40-point mark for the season with this effort. He's at 15 goals, 41 points and a plus-18 rating over 65 outings this season as an AHL rookie. He also made two regular-season appearances in the NHL, but it could be a while before he's a regular for the Kings.

  • Kings' Nikita Alexandrov: Logs three points in AHL win

    Alexandrov scored twice and added an assist in AHL Ontario's 4-1 win over San Diego on Friday.

    Alexandrov has four goals and four assists over his last five outings. For the season, he's produced 16 goals, 40 assists, 144 shots and a minus-20 rating over 66 appearances between Ontario and Springfield. Ontario is the top team in the AHL's Pacific Division, so Alexandrov may be in line for a lengthy playoff run with the team.
