With the Arizona Coyotes streaking toward the playoffs, and the LA Kings trending in the wrong direction, the latter is looking like sellers.
When the LA Kings look back on the abbreviated 2021 season, being swept twice by the San Jose Sharks will certainly be a point where one could argue that was the turning point in the season. Until then, the Kings were flirting with the fourth and final playoff spot in the West Division.
Entering Monday’s game with the Coyotes, it basically boils down to a must-win situation, as seven points separate the two with just 20 games to go for the Kings.
