The Kings are in flux. This is a team that realistically, is competing for the one playoff spot up for grabs in the West - the last wildcard. They’re currently 3 points back of the Blues, who also have a game in hand on them. So shit’s looking rough for the Kings.
That said, the Kings didn’t have an easy road this year. Their starting goalie, Jonathan Quick, got injured early in the season, and only just made his return. In the meantime, Peter Budaj has held down the fort well, to the tune of a .917 save percentage.
