The Kings travel to Edmonton, which now sports a three-headed monster with former MVPs Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl and 50-goal scorer Zach Hyman.
The Kings’ Matt Roy scuffles with Vancouver’s Conor Garland as linesman Brandon Gawryletz tries to separate them during the second period Monday, March 25, 2024, in Vancouver, British Columbia. The Kings levitated from Vancouver to Edmonton atop their four-game win streak for Thursday’s throwdown with the team that earned four even bigger victories in each of the past two seasons to eliminate them from the playoffs.
They’ve begun to change that narrative by narrowly squeezing past Vancouver and the Tampa Bay Lightning in preparation for the arduous spring ahead. Then, they appear destined to face Edmonton, Vancouver or the winner of a cutthroat Central Division race in the first round of the postseason. Lizotte said the Kings, who soared early on, sank in the middle of their campaign and now have begun to regain their form, felt somewhat like they had participated in three separate seasons, likening the current stretch to “a rebirth.”
“We’re getting better as a line, for sure,” Kopitar said. “Like all of us, we lost it a little bit in the middle of the season, but we’re getting the mojo back. We’re getting the confidence and, really, the belief back.”
