Gabe Vilardi’s first full season with the LA Kings hasn’t gone as planned, but he can have a strong finish to the year, starting with the Minnesota Wild.

Enormous expectations have been placed on Gabe Vilardi this season. After coming up for the final ten games of the 2020 regular season, the LA Kings former 11th overall pick in 2017 accumulated three goals and four assists over that span.

Things couldn’t have gone more differently for Vilardi this season, as most just assumed he would pick up where left off.
