About this episode
Los Angeles Kings collapse against the shorthanded Vegas Golden Knights—Artemi Panarin's solid debut and Quinton Byfield's 2 goal game can't save them from a stunning third-period meltdown. How much pressure is mounting for Coach Jim Hiller after this home-ice fiasco? Eddie Garcia breaks down the Kings' defensive lapses and the impact of Panarin's strong first performance. Key topics include Ken Holland’s trade deadline maneuvering, potential moves for Elias Pettersson, and shifting power in the Pacific Division playoff race. Lineup changes and a gritty moment from Corey Perry.. With Edmonton Oilers looming, can Los Angeles regain its identity—or is a roster shakeup inevitable?
