The Los Angeles Kings faced challenges in January, losing eight of 13 games, primarily due to an inability to score, producing no more than two goals per loss. February started positively with a 4-2 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes, signaling potential scoring improvement. This trend continued for a brief period before reverting; the Kings faced another slump, losing five consecutive games while again failing to surpass two goals in each match. Their defensive strategy, prioritizing strong defense over aggressive scoring, may be at odds with their need to improve offensive output.
For the Kings, not scoring a ton of goals is something they are okay with and something they have been okay with for years.
Since their win over the Golden Knights, the Kings have played five games. They have lost all five of those games and are currently riding their worst losing streak of the season.
What seemed to be the start of some consistent scoring and not banking on exceptional defensive play to win games came to an immediate halt.
As soon as February hit, the Kings handed the Cup-contending Carolina Hurricanes a 4-2 loss on the road, scoring four goals for just the second time in 13 games.
