| WINLESS: The LA Kings DROP their home opener to the Panthers 2-1. Time to hit the PANIC button? | 07 Oct 2026 | 00:30:41 | |

Darcy Kuemper looked much better in net, while the penalty kill was a major bright spot. The power play, however, struggled. So what should we make of this winless start? Are the Kings close to turning things around, or are there bigger concerns after three games?
