The Los Angeles Kings are off to an ugly start to the 2025-26 season, where they have only one win through their first five games. What is surprising about this is that the one win was on the road against the Vegas Golden Knights, where they won 6-5.
In terms of losses, they have regulation losses to the Avalanche, Jets, and Penguins, with a shootout loss to the Minnesota Wild. The most recent loss to the Penguins has to be the most concerning, as the Penguins are expected to be a lottery team, and the Kings jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first period before Pittsburgh scored four straight.
