LA Kings: The month of February team report card

With February in the books, how did the LA Kings do for the month?

The first full month of the LA Kings season is now complete, and to the surprise of some, they find themselves in the thick of a battle for a playoff spot. Yes, there is a lot of hockey left to be played, and a lot can happen, but even being in this position is a welcome development in the franchise’s rebuild.

The Kings started and ended the month of February with losing streaks, as they lost their first four games as well as their last two. Between these two losing streaks was a six-game winning streak that vaulted the team into the aforementioned playoff battle.

Thanks in large part to that winning streak, the LA Kings picked up a very impressive 9 out of 12 points on the recent six-game road trip. They finished the month of February with a 6-5-1 record and have an overall record of 9-7-4.

So how does the Kings’ first full month of the season break down? Like the last report card we did, there will be four categories: offense, defense, goaltending, and special teams.
