The Los Angeles Kings are set to kick off their season on the road against the Buffalo Sabres on October 10, with their home opener scheduled for October 24 against the San Jose Sharks.
Before the regular season commences, the Kings will engage in six preseason games, with none taking place at their home arena, Crypto.com Arena, due to ongoing renovations. However, fans will have the opportunity to catch the Kings in action locally during the preseason, showcasing their new uniforms recently unveiled to the public.
The preseason schedule includes matchups against various teams, including the Utah Hockey Club, the Vegas Golden Knights, and the Anaheim Ducks. These games will serve as crucial preparation for the Kings before they embark on their regular season journey.
The regular season schedule for the Kings includes notable matchups and events to look forward to. Fans can anticipate four games against their rivals, the Anaheim Ducks, as well as the first game against the Edmonton Oilers on December 28 in Los Angeles. Additionally, the Kings will embark on two seven-game road trips throughout the season.
Noteworthy highlights of the regular season schedule include the Kings’ first game against the Utah Hockey Club on October 26, seven consecutive Saturday home games in the first half of the season, and a season-high six-game homestand in February. Moreover, of the Kings’ final 38 games, 23 will be played at home, providing ample opportunities for fans to support the team at Crypto.com Arena.
While specific Training Camp dates are yet to be announced, the Kings’ prospects are gearing up to compete in the NHL Rookie Faceoff Tournament in September. This six-team event will take place at the Toyota Sports Performance Center in El Segundo, offering a platform for young talent to showcase their skills.
In a shift from the traditional NHL All-Star Weekend, the 2024-25 season will feature the Four Nations Faceoff, hosted in Montreal and Boston in mid-February. This event will bring a unique twist to the season, offering fans and players an exciting alternative to the All-Star festivities.
As the Kings prepare for the upcoming season, anticipation is building among fans and players alike for what promises to be an action-packed and thrilling journey ahead.
