The LA Kings dropped all the way to the bottom five teams in this week's NHL Week 2 power rankings from The Hockey Writers on Monday.
The Los Angeles Kings' results in the win column early this regular season haven't met expectations in the Pacific Division this fall in early-to-mid October at home. Jim Hiller and the Kings are probably playing well enough to deserve a record better than 1-3-2 over the long term for the entire regular season in the 2025-26 campaign.
