A lack of scoring and a key injury make the Los Angeles Kings (44-27-11) the longest of long shots in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Give the Los Angeles some credit. The Kings were the shakiest of the teams heading into the final 10 games of the season, but they went 6-3-1 in their final ten and held off the Vegas Golden Knights. But they just don’t score enough and the season-ending injury to defensive stalwart Drew Doughty is a killer. Jonathan Quick is still in net, but he can’t steal games like he used to. It’s going to be tough sledding for the Kings.
