The LA Kings lackluster performance against the Coyotes on Monday night surely ended any playoff hope, and it’s time to play hungry players.
In what has felt like Groundhog’s Day the last couple of weeks or so, the LA Kings aren’t matching what they’re preaching in the morning skate and postgame Zoom calls. The buzzwords have been “fast start” and “intensity,” but neither were present in the Kings 5-2 loss to the Coyotes on Monday night.
Quick recap before diving in.
Arizona jumped out to a 3-0 lead 7:28 into the opening period.
