With Talbot and Copley struggling early, should the Kings already start looking to find a solution in net?
The Los Angeles Kings’ goaltending situation is right back to where they started last season, as Cam Talbot and Pheonix Copley have struggled in one game each so far this season. Talbot allowed four goals with an .889 save percentage in the Kings’ 5-2 loss to the Colorado Avalanche and Phoenix Copley allowed five with a .737 save% in a 6-5 shootout loss to the Carolina Hurricanes.
Here’s the thing and why it’s different for the Kings: people could have seen this coming from a million miles away. I know that you look at the Kings’ start and you say “they played two of the best teams in the league to this point.” They got the Avalanche who had a chip on their shoulder on opening night, and then followed that up with the Hurricanes, who have been among the class of the East, and you sit here and say “it’s just two games, not a big deal”.
So, you take that and you mash it all together and you say “we might have a little bit of an issue here.” Yes, this Kings defense core is smart and can skate and can move the puck, but may not be enough alone to cover up for some of their issues and the way they fall short in net. The key question is when do you begin to get nervous.
