The Los Angeles Kings will scratch former Oilers defenseman Cody Ceci ahead of Tuesday’s game against the Washington Capitals, leaving the 4.5 million‑cap‑hit player out of the lineup for the seventh team of his career. Ceci, who logged all 82 games for the Kings in 2025‑26 and has an assist in six games this season, joins a club that sits winless at 0‑4‑2 to start 2026‑27. The move highlights the Kings’ struggles on the blue line as they hunt for their first victory.
In a dramatic comeback, the winless Los Angeles Kings rally to beat the Washington Capitals 5-2 after trailing 2-0, turning the Tuesday night game at Capital One Arena into a season‑changing upset.

The LA Kings head into a crucial match at Washington on Oct. 20 after a disastrous 0‑4‑2 start, the worst offensive output in the league despite only six games played. Coach Peter Laviolette, who is 0‑4‑0 against the Capitals, may revert to a 12‑forward, 6‑defense lineup now that veteran Mats Zuccarello returns from injury, putting the fate of Erik Gustafsson, Joel Edmundson, Brian Dumoulin or Cody Ceci in the balance. Key stats: Artemi Panarin boasts a career point‑per‑game versus Washington (38 P in 38 games), while Adrian Kempe sits one point shy of tying Jim Fox for 11th‑most in Kings history. With playoff odds slipping below 15% for teams four points out by Nov. 1, the Kings must win now to stay afloat.

The Devils (4-4-0) host the Avalanche (5-3-1) at 7 p.m. EST on Oct. 20 after a disappointing 4-2 loss to Washington that saw them surrender a 4‑1 lead. New Jersey’s recent struggles include letting Ryan Leonard score a power‑play goal and falling apart in the second period, while Colorado dropped a 3‑2 decision at Philadelphia despite a late tying goal by Timo Meier.
