Mikey Anderson LAK Statline – 77 games played, 5 goals, 15 assists, +20 rating, 40 penalty minutes Playoff Statline – 6 games played, 0 goals, 1 assist, -4 rating, 2 penalty minutes Possession Metrics (Relative To Kings) – CF% – 51.9% (-0.9%), SCF% – 52.8% (-0.3%), HDCF% – 51.4% (-4.8%) Anderson has become the Kings version of a mid-round draft pick success story, moving from a fourth-round selection, to a collegiate national champion, to a promising prospect to a key piece |

| Thieves earn two sweeps in CDL Major V elimination bracket |
| The Los Angeles Thieves swept two opponents to advance into the third round of the elimination bracket Friday at the Call of Duty League Major V in Toronto. The Thieves, seeded ninth and starting the tournament in the lower bracket, handed OpTic Texas an early exit with a 3-0 win in Round 1, thenbeat the London Royal Ravens 3-0 as well. The Royal Ravens had moved forward by beating the Boston Breach 3-1 earlier in the day. Rounding out the start of the elimination bracket, the Vegas Legion swept the Seattle Surge 3-0 and the New York Subliners did the same to the Los Angeles Guerrillas. Against Texas, the Thieves won 250-109 on Mercado Las Almas Hardpoint, 6-2 on Breenbergh Hotel Search and Destroy |

| Stars confident they can make historic comeback in West Final |
| "They're not fun when you're on the other side," said the forward, who played for the San Jose Sharks when they were up 3-0 and lost in seven games to the Los Angeles Kings in the 2014 Western Conference First Round. The Stars are hoping they're the latest team to pull off the rare feat of winning four in a row after being down 3-0. Dallas will once again be without forward Jamie Benn, who will serve the second of his two-game suspension for his cross-check on Vegas forward Mark Stone 1:53 into Game 3 on Tuesday. |

| 2022-23 Panthers Are Reminiscent of 2012 Kings' Cup Team |
| The Florida Panthers are headed to the 2023 Stanley Cup Final. The Edmonton Oilers reached the Final in 2006 but lost in Game 7 to the Carolina Hurricanes. In 2012, the Los Angeles Kings went on a historic Cinderella run, becoming the first eighth-seed team to win the Stanley Cup. There are definitely some similarities between the Panthers and the Kings and how they had playoff success. |

| Hurricanes seek Williams' advice down 3-0 against Panthers in East Final |
| Only four teams in NHL history have overcome the 3-0 deficit Carolina faces in the best-of-7 series heading into Game 4 at FLA Live Arena on Wednesday (8 p.m. ET; TNT, CBC, SN, TVAS). "I spoke to the captains today just kind of my thoughts, kind of what I went through, what they have to do," Williams said Wednesday. |

| 2023 Kings Seasons In Review – Pheonix Copley |
| Starting our individual evaluations, Insiders! We'll kick things off in net with Pheonix Copley, who turned out to be the most consistent goaltender throughout the organization over the course of the season. Copley joined the Kings in early-December and never left, as he was recalled from the AHL and immediately stepped into the lineup and contributed. A look at one of the season's best stories below. Pheonix Copley NHL Statline – 37 games played, 2089 minutes played, 24-6-3 record, 2.64 goals against average, .903 save percentage, .914 even-strength save percentage, 1 shutout AHL Statline – 11 games played, 630 minutes played, 6-4-1 record, 2.48 goals against average, .913 save percentage, 0 |

| 3 Kings Who Could Be Traded This Offseason |
| Every dollar matters in the world of the flat salary cap that has been the reality over the past few NHL seasons. Alex Iafallo is coming off of a solid season and a good playoff run as well. In April 2021, Iafallo signed a four-year extension worth $16 million total. Iafallo feels a bit redundant on this roster with Trevor Moore emerging and now having a contract extension of his own. |

| Could the A's really play in Las Vegas' minor league park? Recent history says yes |
| A major professional team playing in a minor league venue would've been unheard of just a few years ago, which is what the Oakland Athletics likely will do if they move to Las Vegas. There is recent precedent for a major professional team making a similar transition while waiting for the new venue to be constructed. The NFL's Chargers played in an MLS stadium after moving from San Diego to Los Angeles, and the NHL's Arizona Coyotes have called a college arena home while awaiting what they hope is a new building of their own. |

| Kings promote Bill Ranford to Director of Goaltending, Seeking new NHL & AHL goaltending coaches |
| Some news, Insiders! The LA Kings announced today that longtime goaltending coach Bill Ranford has been promoted to serve as the organization's Director of Goaltending, following 17 years as the team's goaltending coach. Additionally, current Kings goaltending development coach Matt Millar has been named as the North American Goalie Scout, working in support of Ranford and the organization's goaltending objectives moving forward. What this means is two things. One, the Kings are expanding their resources invested into the goaltending position. This is a new role and a new position within the Kings hierarchy at the executive level, not simply Ranford replacing an existing member of the front office. |

| Fiala says Kings season ended 'way too early' |
| His flight from Los Angeles brought him to Riga by way of Zurich. But it was a lower-body injury that delayed his arrival to play for Switzerland at the tournament the most. "It feels great to be here again," the Los Angeles Kings forward said Monday. "It was some tough decisions to make the last couple weeks here and there because of my injury, obviously. Just excited to see the boys again. Just excited to be a part of this group again. They've had a good start. Just trying to help them to win more games." Fiala's injury plagued him late in the regular season and into the Stanley Cup Playoffs. He missed 13 of 16 regular-season games March 11-April 13, and was absent for the first three games |

| 2022-23 LA Kings Season: By the Numbers |
| 41 - Adrian Kempe Goals Kempe reached the 40-goal mark for the first time in his career this season. In doing so, Kempe became the first King to reach the 40-goal club since Luc Robitaille scored 44 goals in the 1993-94 season. Kempe's continued growth as a player saw him set a career high in goals, assists and points (41-26=67).

| 2023 World Championships Begin Friday, Kings With 4 Representatives |
| The season continues for four members of the LA Kings organization, with several players within the organization set to play at the 2023 IIHF World Championships, which begin tomorrow in Finland and Latvia. The United States will have two Kings representatives, while Slovakia and Sweden each having one member of the Kings participating at the event. Two of those players played with the Kings this season, while two more were exclusively with the AHL's Ontario Reign, though all four players are under contract with the organization heading into the 2023-24 season. The structure of the tournament is ever-changing, but this season it consists of 16 teams, divided into two groups of eight. Each team |

| Grading Kings GM Rob Blake in the 2022-23 Season |
| The Los Angeles Kings entered last offseason in an interesting position. The development of players and a weak Pacific Division opened the door to them being contenders once again headed into 2022-23, but there were still areas that needed to be addressed. General manager Rob Blake had some moves to make both in the summer and in the offseason. The big splash that Blake went for was trading for Kevin Fiala before the 2022 Draft. |

| 5 Final Takeaways Heading Into The Offseason |
| We've reached the end of the road, Insiders. Officially out of videos to embed and quotes to transcribe. Over the course of the last week, we've shared tens of thousands of words from 23 interviews, consisting of 21 players, Head Coach Todd McLellan and General Manager Rob Blake. They spoke about a number of different topics, some reflecting back on the season and some looking forward at what's to come. This article is meant to focus on the latter, looking at five topics that came from individuals during exit interviews as things to look out for over the summer and heading into next season. You won't find much on say Drew Doughty in this article. Doughty is signed for four more seasons and his |

| 2023 Exit Interviews - Blake Lizotte, Jaret Anderson-Dolan, Carl Grundstrom, Rasmus Kupari |
| The last set of interviews, Insiders! Finishing the run on video and recaps from Exit Interviews with four depth forwards, all of whom set some type of personal best during the regular season. The forward quartet of Blake Lizotte, Jaret Anderson-Dolan, Carl Grundstrom and Rasmus Kupari all set NHL career bests in points and games played this season. Lizotte led the way, skating in all but the one game he was suspended for, as he set career highs in goals (11), assists (23) and points. Grundstrom was exclusively at the NHL level for the third straight season, while Anderson-Dolan did so for the second time in his career. Despite a couple of short AHL stints, Kupari was with the Kings almost exclusively, |

| NHL's Top 5 Forward Lines of 2022-23 |
| There are a total of 28 forward lines that played together for at least 350 minutes at five-on-five this season. The tools I used to determine the top-five lines were goals percentage (Goals%) and expected goals percentage (xGoals%) as they either take the actual goals for and against while the line was on the ice or the expected goals for and against and puts them into one stat. Starting off with the fifth-best forward line this season, the Los Angeles Kings had the pleasure of having Quinton Byfield, Anze Kopitar, and Adrian Kempe as their top line to lead them to the playoffs. |

| 2023 Exit Interviews - Gabe Vilardi, Sean Walker, Alexander Edler |
| Second-to-last day, Insiders! We've got three players who made important strides or recoveries this season for your reading pleasure. First up is Gabe Vilardi, with a focus on his development and production this season, heading into his free agency, of the restricted variety, this offseason. With Sean Walker, it's his impressive return from a serious injury to getting back to full form as the season progressed. For Alex Edler, he felt no real effects from his own longer-term injury last season, as he exceeded 60 games for the first time since 2018, as he now contemplates his playing future this offseason. A look inside the final interviews of the season for all three players below. Gabe Vilardi |
