Los Angeles Kings

Last season Coyotes record against LA (2-2-0)

Los Angeles is 2-5 on the year so far. However, they did beat the Nashville Predators 7-4 one time so not bad. Honestly, does anyone expect anything out of LA this season? I do not. I believe they are nuclear rebuilding like the Rangers did a few years back if it works for them cool.

I think that the Kings need to get all of their players on board for what type of year they are going to have. When you have a player like Drew Doughty running his mouth about how they should be playing better, and having issues with other players in the league it does not bode well for a season that is already doomed to be a lost cause.

Conclusion

If the Coyotes want to make the playoffs it starts with winning games against your own division. Let’s wait and see how the division looks in a few months, but I think the Coyotes have a serious shot.
