While the rest of the NHL schedule is expected to be released later this week, the NHL did announce who would be playing on the first night of the 2025-26 season. For LA Kings fans, they won't have to wait long as they will be the third game on that first day of the season.
This will be the second time in three seasons that they are opening the season at home and they once again will be doing so against the same opponent they did three seasons ago in the Colorado Avalanche.
The Avalanche have been a problem for the Kings the past two seasons, as they have only won two of their past six meetings.
