Kings need faster start to meet higher expectations
The Kings are looking for improvement in every aspect of their game. They will play their first game against the Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday. Last year's team surprised the sportsbook odds and won the Stanley Cup. The team won a seven-game series against Edmonton Oilers. Kevin Fiala finished in the top 10 in both man-advantage and even-strength situations. He finished with 67 of his 85 points at even strength. Kings coach Todd McLellan wants to improve on both the power play and penalty kill. His team also wants more five-on-five intensity. It is a more competitive Western Conference this year.
Kings play Vegas at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Crypto.com Arena. TV/Radio: ESPN/ESPN+, IHeartRadio, Tu Liga 1330 (Spanish).
