Both teams had chances early on in the first period as Kings forward Charles Hudon had the first grade A opportunity on a breakaway but could not find the back of the net. Utah started to gain more momentum midway through the period. 

Kings goalie Erik Portillo made two saves to keep the game scoreless, but it wasn’t enough as Lawson Crouse scored the first goal in Utah history on the power play with 5 minutes left in the period.

The Kings managed to get a five on three powerplay halfway through the period and with 2 seconds left on the powerplay Alex Turcotte put home the rebound to tie the game at 2-2.

Both teams headed into the 2nd intermission tied at 2-2.

To start the third period both starting goalies were swapped out for their backups. 

Utah goalie Matt Villalta robbed Kings forward Francesco Pinelli of a great goal scoring opportunity. 

Midway through the 3rd period Utah started to get more zone time and create some offensive chances. 

The Kings had a last ditch effort but couldn’t score as the game went into overtime. 

Clayton Keller picked up the puck off a LA turnover and scored to win the game 3-2 and earn Utahs first victory on home ice.

Edmundson has perviously played with the Toronto Maple Leafs, Carolina Hurricanes, Montreal Canadiens and also won the Stanley Cup when he was a member of the St. Louis Blues in 2019. By the team adding Edmundson he will bring some leadership to the younger players on the Kings roster. 

LA also added players Caleb Jones, Jack Studnicka and Kyle Burroughs to the team as well. Both Studnicka and Burroughs were teammates last season when playing up in Northern California for the Sharks. Jones, Studnicka and Burroughs will most likely be playing in the AHL for the Ontario Reign for the up coming 2024-25 season. 

the most recent news for the Kings is that forward Quinton Byfield and defenseman Jordan Spence were re signed to the team. Byfield was signed to an eight year contract worth five years and will get an average salary of $6.25 million dollars, Spence was resigned to a two year deal worth $1.5 million.

With the Kings second selection the team picked goaltender Conor George from the Owen Sound Attack.  Last season George posted a total save percentage of .907 and had a 3.30:goals against average throughout his second season in Owen Sound.

He also started for Team Canada and took home the gold medal at the Hlinka Gretzky Cup.

Not only did the Kings get draft prospects, the team also made a trade with the Tampa Bay Lightning to get forward Tanner Jeannot as the team traded two picks to get Jeannot. Jeannot will enter his fith seeason in the NHL as played with Nashville before getting traded to Tampa in the 2022-23 season.

The Kings third selection in the draft led to them drafting defenseman Jared Wolley. Wolley is a left shooting defenseman and has played two years with the OHLs London Knights. He was drafted in the 6th round by LA. Wolley is a left shooting defenseman, despite playing 37 games this past season with London he only managed to get 3 goals, 5 assists and racked up a total of 21 penalty minutes.

Reeder is a right winger who plays with a lot of speed and skill to his game, he recently finished his only year in the USHL and will now be taking his talents to Denver University next season.

Kings Unveiled New Rebrand For The Club

The Kings new logos launched for the franchise today, the team has gone back to their 90s era Chevy logo with a modern touch. 

The team wore a crown on its jerseys from their first ever game up until the 1988 season when the Kings launched the first iteration of the Chevy logo. 

The new Chevy logo will have thicker Los Angeles word mark on the top and also a new Kings word mark across the logo. A new crown based on what the team used on their jerseys from their inauguration season will be used as an alternate logo for the club. 

Along with the new updated look the Kings home and away jerseys are very identical to the ones they wore before, the difference being bigger waist and arm striping. For the home jerseys the team will be the first NHL team to wear matte black helmets. The away helmets will stay the same as they have been in previous seasons.
