Kings' Calgary finale sets up wild playoff puzzle

The Los Angeles Kings wrap up the 2025-26 regular season with a road game at Calgary (Game 82) that will help determine their first-round opponent and home-ice status. A number of scenarios remain, with possible opponents Colorado, Edmonton, or Anaheim, depending on tonight’s results. Los Angeles plans to ice a full lineup, with Forsberg starting in goal; Kopitar will play what is billed as his final regular-season game, and Adrian Kempe continues to pace late-season scoring as the team seeks momentum into the postseason.
