Goaltender is going to be a concern moving forward
One of the biggest concerns from the start of the season for the Los Angeles Kings has to be goaltending. The Kings lost Cam Talbot in the offseason, who was excellent for this team last season and entered the year with Darcy Kuemper and David Rittich.
Through the first two games, it looked like the Kings once again found something with Kuemper in the net as he allowed only three goals. However, it all fell apart against the Senators with him giving up eight goals.
He would then miss the last two games due to an injury that isn't fully recovered as he was placed on injured reserve today. Meanwhile, Rittich has a goals against average of 3.25 but looked better against the Canadiens than he did against the Maple Leafs.
The Kings are going to need that trend from Rittich to continue because it remains to be seen when Kuemper will be back.
