Los Angeles Kings News

Despite Darcy Kuemper shutting out Winnipeg in Los Angeles' previous contest, Anton Forsberg will take the crease on Thursday vs. Florida. The 32-year-old backup netminder has struggled at times during his first season with the Kings, with his 2-1-1 record, 3.19 GAA and .894 SV%. The Kings host the struggling Florida Panthers on Thursday, who have lost seven of their last 10 contests.

The Kings will unsurprisingly turn to Kuemper to face off against Connor Hellebuyck and the Jets on Tuesday. Kuemper was tagged with a second straight loss in his last start, as he allowed three goals on 21 shots in a 4-1 defeat at the hands of the Devils on Saturday. The 35-year-old netminder owns an .891 SV% and a 3-3-3 record on the season. Kuemper and the Kings enter action on Tuesday at -130 on the money line.

Moore was a late scratch on Thursday, tending to personal matters, but will return to the lineup on Saturday against the New Jersey Devils. The 30-year-old Moore has four points (3G / 1A) in 11 games this season.

After a disappointing start to the season, the Kings have turned a corner, collecting points in six straight games (4-0-2). They will turn to Kuemper between the pipes on Thursday against the Detroit Red Wings. The 35-year-old Kuemper saved 37 of 40 shots in his most recent outing, a 4-3 win over the San Jose Sharks. He has a 2.81 GAA and .895 SV% in seven games this season (3-2-2). The Kings enter Thursday's contest as -146 home favorites against a Red Wings team that has scored five or more goals in two straight games (2-0-0).

After losing five of their first six games (1-3-2) to start the season, the Kings have rebounded nicely, improving to 4-3-3 through 10 games. The Kings have yet to see the elite play of Darcy Kuemper that earned him a runner-up finish for the Vezina Trophy last season, but he will return to the crease on Tuesday against the San Jose Sharks. The 36-year-old Kuemper has a 2.78 GAA and .887 SV% in six games this season (2-2-2). The Kings enter Tuesday's contest as sizable -206 road favorites against a Sharks team that has scored six goals in two of their last three games (2-1-0).

Foegele exited the Kings' 3-1 win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday early in the first period due to an upper-body injury after only 1:29 time-on-ice. The 29-year-old forward had a breakout campaign in 2024-25, his first season with the Kings, scoring 46 points (24G / 22A). He has not had the same offensive prowess early in 2025-26, averaging nearly three minutes less ice time per game and scoring only one point (1G / 0A) through 10 games.
