It’s no secret that the LA Kings are rebuilding, but they may have a better chance than you think of making the playoffs in the 2021 season.
The LA Kings finished last season as the fourth-worst team in the NHL, and they needed a season-ending seven-game winning streak to finish that high.
It was at least a slight improvement on the 2018-19 season in which they finished next to last. Another season of modest improvement seems like a realistic expectation for the team this year. Publicly, though, the players are saying they’re aiming to make the playoffs.
