With Rookie Faceoff ahead, Carter George & Hampton Slukynsky are gearing up for what’s to come
Goaltending is a unique position. Well, obviously it is. But here’s why, in this context. Take two forward prospects. The top two forward prospects in an organization, for example. As those players develop and progress towards playing professionally, there is room for both to be everyday impact players in the same lineup. Each team dresses […] The post With Rookie Faceoff ahead, Carter George & Hampton Slukynsky are gearing up for what’s to come appeared first on LA Kings Insider .
Remembering Ace & Mark, 25 Years Later
On September 11, 2001, 25 years ago today, the LA Kings lost two valued members of their organization – Garnet “Ace” Bailey and Mark Bavis. Every year, we remember Ace and Mark for who they were and what they meant to the organization. In the words of those who knew them well, we remember not […] The post Remembering Ace & Mark, 25 Years Later appeared first on LA Kings Insider .
Kevin Fiala expected to miss start of 2026 Kings Training Camp
Sorry for the delay here, Insiders. Sharing some information I am sure you know by this point, but Kings forward Kevin Fiala underwent a procedure, related to the injury he sustained at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan. Fiala is expected to miss the start of 2026 Training Camp. pic.twitter.com/yERxzZifm5 — LA Kings PR (@LAKingsPR) […] The post Kevin Fiala expected to miss start of 2026 Kings Training Camp appeared first on LA Kings Insider .
Rest In Peace Barry Melrose
I think everyone has a Barry Melrose story. For me, I only met Barry once. It was in 2017, at what was then named Cool Insuring Arena in Glens Falls, New York. The year prior, Hall of Fame broadcaster Dave Strader was diagnosed with cancer. Dave was most commonly known for his national play-by-play work […] The post Rest In Peace Barry Melrose appeared first on LA Kings Insider .

The Kings roster for […] The post 10 Storylines To Watch For At The 2026 Rookie Faceoff appeared first on LA Kings Insider .

2026 Training Camp Preview – Wingers
If there is one part of the LA Kings roster this season that should be really exciting it’s the talent and depth on the wings. Looking at the top-end talent, combined with the number of NHL’ers in camp, the Kings haven’t had this kind of firepower on the wings in a long time. Adding a […] The post 2026 Training Camp Preview – Wingers appeared first on LA Kings Insider .

2026 Training Camp Preview – Centers
With the retirement of Anze Kopitar, the Kings entered the 2026 offseason with the unenviable task of replacing the greatest player in franchise history. Was that task actually achievable? Not sure that it was, or at least not without impacting other areas of the roster. The Kings did not add a long-term, top-six center this […] The post 2026 Training Camp Preview – Centers appeared first on LA Kings Insider .
LA Kings Announce 2026 Rookie Camp + Rookie Faceoff Roster & Schedule

2026 Training Camp Preview – Right-Shot Defensemen
While the NHL roster has balance, throughout the organization, the Kings have far more left-shot defensemen than right-shot defensemen. As such, of the 15 blueliners coming to training camp on NHL contracts, only five shoot right. Of those five, three – Cody Ceci, Brandt Clarke and Drew Doughty – come with NHL experience, on higher-priced, […] The post 2026 Training Camp Preview – Right-Shot Defensemen appeared first on LA Kings Insider .
2026 Training Camp Preview – Left-Shot Defensemen
The Kings will bring 10, left-shot defensemen to training camp with NHL contracts. While I think we can safely point to a few of them as being on the NHL roster, there’s actually a lot of intrigue with this group both short and long term. I think you can look at the group of defensemen […] The post 2026 Training Camp Preview – Left-Shot Defensemen appeared first on LA Kings Insider .

Introducing the 2026-27 LA Kings National Broadcast schedule.

2026 Training Camp Preview – Goaltenders
I felt that the team’s goaltending situation last fall was very straight forward. Darcy Kuemper was the unquestioned starter, coming off a Vezina Trophy nomination in 2024-25. Anton Forsberg was specifically signed to be the trusted, veteran number-two. Erik Portillo was ready to assume the starting role in the AHL, supported by veteran Pheonix Copley.
