Recapping the LA Kings prospects for the week of February 15.

Uncertainty lay ahead after Rasmus Kupari tore his ACL in Team Finland’s opening game in the 2020 World Juniors. Fast forward another 12 months; perhaps no prospect has benefited more from the delayed start to the 2021 season than Kupari. The 20-year-old has been a standout player with the LA Kings AHL affiliate in the Ontario Reign, leading the AHL with eight points in seven games as of Sunday morning.

With Jaret Anderson-Dolan down with an upper-body injury in Thursday’s win against the Coyotes, head coach Todd McLellan suggested he may not play for the rest of the team’s road trip.
