Kings map out an 84-game 2026-27 schedule with a divisional grind

The LA Kings’ 2026-27 regular-season slate returns to an 84-game format—the first since 1993-94—bringing a divisional-heavy schedule (four games against every Pacific Division opponent and three against each Central Division team) plus 32 games versus the Eastern Conference. The season opens with a playoff rematch in Denver against Colorado, features a division-heavy first week, a busy March, several matinee starts, roughly ten back-to-back sets, and a holiday schedule shifted to avoid a New Year’s Eve/Day game, with eight of the final 11 games against Pacific opponents and the calendar largely returning to a normal flow after last season’s disruptions.

Pacific Shuffle: Ducks, Kings Scramble for Seed in Final NHL Standings Push

NHL.com’s Stanley Cup Playoffs Buzz breaks down the final stretch of the 2026 regular season, where all playoff spots are set but seedings are still in flux. The focus is the tight Pacific race: Vegas leads, with Anaheim three points back and Los Angeles one point behind the Ducks (both Ducks and Kings have two games left, Oilers one), meaning the Ducks could win the division or slip into a wild card and the Kings could climb into second place or grab a wild card. The piece also outlines Eastern and Western scenarios for home-ice and first-round matchups, including the Bruins locking the East wild card and the Jets being eliminated, plus a recap of last night’s results that influenced openings in the playoffs. Nine Tuesday games carry playoff implications, with several teams eyeing seeding ahead of the postseason.
