FAST START: LA Kings open Training Camp with UP TEMPO system under new coach Peter Laviolette

The LA Kings hit training camp with new energy under Peter Laviolette—will his up-tempo system unlock the team’s full potential? Drew Doughty takes the captaincy, while questions swirl around Kevin Fiala’s injury timeline and Matt Zuccarello’s preseason status. Eddie Garcia spotlights Laviolette’s immediate impact, from sharper, faster practices to strategic line combinations featuring Quinton Byfield, Adrian Kempe, and Artemi Panarin. Injury updates for Fiala, Zuccarello, and Brian Dumoulin raise stakes for the early season. Key discussions include Alex Turcotte's shot at the second-line center role, defensive pair shakeups, and GM Ken Holland’s candid remarks on the team’s goalie situation. The stage is set—can the LA Kings overcome these early challenges and launch a playoff-caliber campaign?00:00 — Kings Training Camp Reactions12:17 — Injury Updates & Goaltending Questions21:17 — Drew Doughty Named CaptainSupport Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Butcher BoxIf you're looking for an easier way to get great meals on the table, give ButcherBox a try. Go to https://ButcherBox.com/LOCKEDONNHL to get $20 off your first box, plus your choice of free ribeye, new york strip, or filet mignon in every box for a year — with free shipping always. AuraAura helps protect your personal information by actively removing your data from data broker sites and keeping it off. Start your free trial today at http://aura.com/aware.IndeedNow, you can speed up your hiring process with a $75 Sponsored Job Credit.
