The LA Kings started fast against the Golden Knights on Monday, but they could do little with the final 40 minutes, and it cost them.
The five veterans leftover from the LA Kings Stanley Cup runs all expected to make the playoffs in this 56-game slate. After Monday night’s 4-1 loss against Vegas, it feels like a pipe dream at this point, unless something crazy happens. Obviously, a postseason berth would have been an added bonus in what is essentially an evaluation year for the younger players.
Still, the same issues that have plagued this team continued on Monday night.
