Kings Takeaways: Scoring Troubles Continue in 3-2 OT Loss to Blue Jackets - The Hockey Writers Los Angeles Kings Latest News, Analysis & More
Briefly

The Los Angeles Kings have faced significant scoring challenges recently, managing two or fewer goals in eight of their last nine games. Their playoff hopes seem threatened, as they generate numerous high-quality scoring chances but fail to capitalize. A recent game against the Columbus Blue Jackets highlighted their struggles, where despite an impressive 33 shots and 75 attempts, they only managed to earn a lucky tie. Coach Jim Hiller remained optimistic about their efforts, indicating they would take the lessons from the game and move forward, although the lack of favorable outcomes remains disheartening for the team.
In the first period alone, the Kings had 12 shots on goal, 13 scoring chances, and seven high-danger opportunities. They finished the night with 33 shots on goal and 75 shot attempts.
It must be demotivating for the Kings, who can't seem to find the back of the net as of late despite the number of chances and quality plays they are producing.
A game we should have won, I thought we deserved to win, but we've had games like that, we've pulled the rabbit out of the hat before,
It's one thing when the offense is struggling due to a lack of chances...but another when those quality looks are generated and it feels as if you are doing everything right but nothing is landing.
