    AGING KINGS: Can Artemi Panarin and Matt Zuccarello DELIVER LA to the PLAYOFFS?

    Los Angeles Kings double down on experience, assembling one of the NHL’s oldest rosters as they seek a playoff return. Can veterans like Mats Zuccarello and Artemi Panarin offset losing Anze Kopitar and mask concerns about an aging goaltending trio of Darcy Kuemper, Anton Forsberg, and Phoenix Copley? Seth Toupal and Gil Martin examine whether Peter Laviolette’s system shift can spark enough offense, fix lackluster special teams, and help LA keep up with high-flying rivals like the Edmonton Oilers and Vegas Golden Knights.  The conversation then shifts east to the New York Islanders, where a looming youth movement is set to challenge roster mainstays. As Ilya Sorokin anchors the crease and Matthew Schaefer emerges, can Peter DeBoer’s renewed focus on defensive structure propel the Islanders back into the playoff race? Plus, are the Anaheim Ducks poised for continued playoff success, or was last season’s surge a fleeting glimpse? Don’t miss this strategic breakdown of three teams fighting for relevance in a rapidly evolving NHL landscape.  Photo Credit: Matt Blewett-Imagn Images Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…  🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LONHL?sid=YouTube  Locked On NHL League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Prospects & More  🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNHL  FanDuel - Today's episode is brought to you by FanDuel.
