No. 19: Los Angeles Kings

Previous: No. 24

Record: 33-29-6 (72 points)

The Kings are currently on the outside looking in for the playoffs. They’re five point behind St. Louis for the second wild card spot in the West. They’re not completely out of it yet, but nothing is guaranteed. Los Angeles is going to have to make a run as the season comes to an end.
