LA Kings Projected Lineup vs. Philadelphia Flyers to Ring In 2022

January 1, 2022 By MayorsManor Staff


Is there anything more Kings-Flyers than the idea of Brendan Lemieux tangling with a Philadelphia player or two? Yeah, probably not.

To ring in 2022, the Kings first opponent of the new year will have a familiar feel to it. The Flyers last played in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve 2019. Two years later, they’ll rematch with a significantly different Kings lineup.

During their last visit to Downtown LA, the Flyers were bested by the Kings 5-3, with goals by Tyler Toffoli, Martin Frk, Kyle Clifford, Alex Iafallo, and Adrian Kempe. Only the latter two will be involved in tonight’s tilt.

On paper, this is a game the Kings could win easily. Philly is 25th in the NHL in scoring (2.6 goals per game), while the Kings defense (2.7 goals against) ranks eighth in the NHL. Further, despite the Kings not scoring much on most nights, they’ll be facing a Flyers group ranked 20th in team defense.

Back to Lemieux for a little tidbit — he has one goal in 11 previous games played against the Flyers. Meanwhile, Kempe has three goals in six games.

In 14 career starts vs. Philadelphia, Jonathan Quick is 10-3-1 with a 1.70 goals against average and .944 save percentage.
