The Kings open the season Wednesday at home against the Colorado Avalanche. They have not won a playoff series since winning the Stanley Cup in 2014.
The Kings’ season will be an exercise in mathematical wizardry and an attempt to exorcise the memory of two consecutive playoff losses to the Edmonton Oilers. The math component looms large for the Kings, who open the season Wednesday against the Colorado Avalanche at Crypto.com Arena, because the NHL’s hard salary cap has grown slowly since the COVID-19 pandemic and stands at $83.5 million.
Blake’s ability to re-sign defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov maintained a solid top four on defense, but the third pair could be a problem. Rookie defenseman Jordan Spence earned a spot but was assigned to the American Hockey League because he’s exempt from waivers and the Kings needed every dollar of cap space they could find. They’ll likely recall winger Arthur Kaliyev from the AHL so he can begin serving the last two games of his four-game suspension for a training camp kneeing infraction.
