UPDATE – RD1, GAME 1: Kings Projected Lineup vs. Oilers; Arvidsson Expected Out

May 2, 2022 By MayorsManor Staff


It’s finally arrived, the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Following the Kings hosting a Dustin Brown Retirement press conference on Friday, it was back to business over the weekend — with practices on Saturday and Sunday, before the team departed for Edmonton.

Good news…

After leaving mid-session on Saturday and missing practice earlier today, Viktor Arvidsson flew with the LA Kings to Edmonton this afternoon.

    I guess 2+2 in the last two games for Gabe wasn’t enough to draw in, even with Arvy out.
