Los Angeles Kings News

Forsberg allowed three goals on 22 shots (.864 SV%) in the Kings’ 4-2 Game Three loss to the Colorado Avalanche, but his team’s inability to score more than two goals in a game has made winning a daunting task regardless of how well Forsberg plays. The 33-year-old goalie, in his first postseason, has a 2.28 GAA and .922 SV% through three games (0-3). Los Angeles hopes to stave off elimination, entering Game Four as +152 home underdogs.

Kuzmenko was activated off injured reserve on April 19th but is yet to play in a post-season game, with his last appearance coming back on February 25th. Kuzmenko appeared in 52 games for the Kings this season, tallying 13 goals and 12 assists.

Forsberg and the Kings were minutes away from tying the series at 1-1, but he allowed a late goal to send the game to overtime in an eventual 2-1 loss to the Colorado Avalanche. The Kings find themselves in a 0-2 series deficit, but can't fault the 33-year-old Forsberg, who has been outstanding tending the twine in his postseason debut, saving 64 of 68 combined shots (.941 SV%). The Kings enter Game Three as +145 home underdogs.

Forsberg was excellent in his postseason debut, saving 30 of 32 shots (.938 SV%) in Sunday's 2-1 Game One loss to the Colorado Avalanche, and will return to the crease for Game Two. The 33-year-old Swedish goalie was excellent down the stretch for the Kings, helping his team secure a playoff berth by posting a stellar 1.40 GAA and .947 SV% in his last seven regular-season appearances (5-1-0). That said, the Kings enter Tuesday's contest as significant +226 road underdogs.

Forsberg was excellent in his postseason debut, saving 30 of 32 shots (.938 SV%) in Sunday's 2-1 Game One loss to the Colorado Avalanche, and will likely return to the crease for Game Two.

With the Kings still battling for playoff positioning in their final game of the season, they will turn to Anton Forsberg, who has been their go-to option between the pipes in recent weeks. The 33-year-old Swedish goalie was solid in his most recent outing, saving 30 of 33 shots (.909 SV%) in a 5-3 win over the Seattle Kraken. Forsberg elevated his game in April to help his team clinch a playoff berth, posting an excellent 1.37 GAA and .950 SV% in five games (5-0-0). The Kings enter Thursday's contest as -151 road favourites against a Calgary Flames team that has been limited to just one goal in three of their last four games (1-3-0).

Kuemper has seemingly lost control of the Kings' crease to Anton Forsberg at the most pivotal point of the season, but he will get the nod for the tail-end of their back-to-back on Tuesday. Kuemper's last start came back on April 4th against the Maple Leafs, when he was credited with the victory despite surrendering six goals on 20 shots. The 35-year-old goaltender has appeared in 49 games this season, logging a 19-14-14 record and an .892 SV%. Kuemper and the Kings enter action on Tuesday at -160 on the money line.

Forsberg has emerged as the Kings' No.1 netminder at a crucial time of year, and comes into Monday's game having won four in a row and stopping 103 of 107 (.963 SV%) shots (.956 SV%) that he's faced. He was sensational in the Kings' previous game, saving all 27 shots he faced for a 1-0 shutout victory over the Edmonton Oilers. The Kings hope to inch closer to a playoff berth on Monday, entering the action as -159 road favourites against a Seattle Kraken team that has followed up a six-game losing streak by winning two straight.

Turcotte has not played in nearly two weeks and will miss another game on Monday, but could return in one of the Kings' final two regular season games. The 25-year-old forward is averaging 10:50 time-on-ice and has 14 points (3G / 11A) in 62 games this season.
