Panarin’s Impact for LA Kings | Los Angeles Kings News

The LA Kings just pulled off a blockbuster trade, acquiring Artemi Panarin from the Rangers in exchange for Liam Greentree and future draft picks. Panarin, already lighting up the scoreboard with 57 points in 52 games before even suiting up for LA, made an instant impact with two assists in his debut. In just 26 regular-season games, he tallied 27 points — a point-per-game pace — and carried that momentum into the playoffs, leading the Kings with 3 points in 4 games. Reuniting with coach Peter Laviolette, who coached him to a career-best 120 points in New York, Panarin also has the potential to form a lethal duo with Adrian Kempe. Despite giving up some assets, this move delivers a major offensive upgrade and sets the Kings up for a strong 2026-27 season.

Kings' Agitators Stir the Pot | Los Angeles Kings News

The LA Kings are bracing for a spicy new season, loaded with players who thrive on stirring the pot—especially veteran agitator Erik Haula, whose fiery reputation and past clashes (including that infamous “Canes suck” wristband) have made him a hated figure in Carolina. While his two-way game earns respect, his knack for riling up opponents is exactly what makes hockey thrilling—and the Kings are ready to bring the heat.

Panarin Deserves Top Spot Over Stone | Los Angeles Kings News

Mark Stone tops a list of the NHL’s best 34-year-olds, but Artemi Panarin’s glaring omission feels like a massive oversight. While Stone’s two-way brilliance and leadership propelled Vegas to the Cup Finals, his chronic injury issues—never playing 70+ games since 2018—cast doubt on his longevity. Panarin, meanwhile, has delivered elite, consistent production for nine straight seasons, averaging over a point per game, staying healthy, and inching toward 1,000 career points before his 900th game. His durability and offensive firepower make him the clear frontrunner for the best 34-year-old in the league. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Doughty’s Comeback Season | Los Angeles Kings News

Drew Doughty bounced back in 2025-26 with a resilient season, playing 72 games, scoring 5 goals and 18 assists, and suiting up for all four playoff games. After a rough January slump, he reignited his form post-Olympics, finishing strong with 2 goals and 8 points in his final 22 games. He stayed mostly healthy, missing only 10 games after missing half the prior season. Paired with Mikey Anderson, he led the team in expected goals for percentage and remained a crucial force on both ends of the ice. With one year left on his contract, Doughty’s future with the Kings is up in the air—but he still proved he’s a vital top-four defenseman and leader.

Gavrikov’s Trade Rumors Heating Up | Los Angeles Kings News

Vladislav Gavrikov’s future with the New York Rangers is suddenly in question as whispers swirl that he could be traded if the team struggles again this season. Signed to a long-term deal last year, Gavrikov came to New York hoping for contender status — but with key departures like Panarin and Trocheck, the vibe’s soured. A proven offensive defenseman who lit up the Kings’ blueline with 35 points last season, Gavrikov could be a perfect fit for LA’s top-four needs — but the Kings’ tight cap space and crowded defense corps make a reunion unlikely. For now, it’s all rumor — but if the Rangers falter, Gavrikov’s name will be front and center. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
