Just over a week ago we debuted our new series X’s and O’s, focused on breaking down the tactics that the Kings will use this season. While initial plans had us waiting for the season to start, where we could gather a library of additional film to break down, there’s no time like the present.

The New York Rangers will be getting set for their first preseason game of the season against the New Jersey Devils on Monday, and after a couple of days of training camp, the team will be taking the ice with something to prove. Coming off a tough season, the Rangers have turned the page, and the 2026-27 campaign is now underway for New York.
People love a good mid-round draft pick that pans out, and in the NHL you used to see those fairly often, but that’s obviously partially luck. If the Red Wings thought Nicklas Lidstrom was going to become a top-five defenseman in history, they wouldn’t have waited until the 53rd pick to take him.
Alex Zharovsky just got back from Montreal, and he’s exhausted. The Russian is currently playing with a team made up of players from Russia, and some veterans are trying to push the young player to give it his all.
The Seattle Kraken have spent the past several months searching for a star, and the Vancouver Canucks appear increasingly motivated to move one. Between the two Pacific Northwest clubs sits Shane Wright, a 22-year-old centre whose representatives have asked Seattle to find him a new team.
With training camp just around the corner, we are previewing each player on the LA Kings roster. Up next: Artemi Panarin! Birthdate: October 30, 1991 Birthplace: Korkino, Russia Height: 6’0 Weight: 176 lbs Position: Left wing Shoots: Right Draft: Undrafted Rather than beginning the season as a King, Artemi Panarin was a New York Ranger.
A sizeable step has been taken in allowing Russian athletes back on the world stage in hockey.
The Los Angeles Kings have hired two former pros to their coaching staff. Hall of Fame defenseman Phil Housley, and 22-year pro Ray Whitney, will both join the Kings’ bench as assistant coaches per David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period.
The first round of the 2026 NHL Draft is in the books. From major trades to compelling picks, let's take a look at the winners and losers from the night.
People will talk about the “Mount Rushmore” for a franchise, which is to say the four people, usually four players, that most define the franchise. Not always the four-best players, but the four that evoke the essence of the franchise.
Players decide on where they want to play for a number of different factors. Some prioritize the success of a team. Some like the city they’d be playing in.
The Los Angeles Kings had a solid season this year despite some of the changes they made, and they’ll be looking to improve their roster for the next season.
Artemi Panarin will get his first chance to face his former team when the New York Rangers host the Los Angeles Kings on Monday night. In a cost-cutting move, Panarin was traded to Los Angeles from New York on Feb.
The Los Angeles Kings will have three games in the next four days in the New York-New Jersey area. On Friday night, Los Angeles will face the New York Islanders.
Not all relationships are meant to last. When two parties seem to be headed in different directions, the best thing to do is usually part ways. Sports often give us examples of this phenomenon, and in the NHL this season, there’s perhaps been no better example of it than the relationship between Artemi Panarin and the New York Rangers.
The Seattle Kraken arose as a surprising bidder in the Artemi Panarin sweepstakes before he accepted a trade to the Los Angeles Kings. Everyone would soon find out that Panarin’s only option was the Kings, but if the Russian forward were willing to go to the highest bidder, he’d now be a Kraken.

As the Olympic roster freeze approaches and the March 6 NHL trade deadline follows, the Artemi Panarin sweepstakes are heating up. The New York Rangers star winger, 34, is in his final contract season and holds a full no-movement clause, giving him control over his next destination.
When Dave Pagnotta mentioned that Artemi Panarin would waive his no-move clause just to join the Oilers for a playoff run, my first thought was simple: What does Edmonton mean to a player who’s never played a minute there?
Could the Edmonton Oilers have eyes on Artemi Panarin? Insider Dave Pagnotta joined Oilersnation Everyday on Monday and was asked about the Artemi Panarin trade situation.
