Kings' Playoff Teases End with Kopitar's Retirement
Description
The Los Angeles Kings 2025-2026 season ended with a playoff sweep by the Presidents Trophy-winning Colorado Avalanche, marking the end of Anze Kopitars career. Despite scraping into the playoffs with the fewest regulation wins, they set an NHL record with twenty overtime and shootout losses. The teams frustration grew as they failed to turn things around, with coaches promising a turnaround that never came. Kopitars retirement leaves a void at center, and while youngsters and vets showed growth, depth remains shaky. The Kings future hangs in the balance as offseason moves on coaching, roster, and front office will determine if they break free or dig deeper.
