LOS ANGELES — The Kings lost five of their first six games to begin the 2025-26 season, but have since rebounded significantly.

LA dominated its recent road trip, earning nine of the possible 10 points available to catch up in the Pacific Division. Two of the Kings’ recent wins came in overtime, with all being separated by two goals or fewer.

Warren Foegele suffered an injury during the trip, altering LA’s third line. Brandt Clarke continued to show his potential, while Phillip Danault was practically benched in the third period against the San Jose Sharks.
