4 players the Los Angeles Kings need to bounce back in 2024-25

Adrian Kempe

Adrian Kempe would end up leading the Los Angeles Kings in points with 75, which was a career-high. This was due to a career-high in assists with 47, which was over 20 more than his next highest total.

However, something that took a big step backward was goal-scoring as he finished with only 28 goals, a significant decrease from the 41 he had in 2022-23 or the 35 he had in 2021-22. The reason for such a sharp decline was in his shot percentage as he had a shot percentage of only 11.4%, down from 16.4% in 2022-23 and 14.2% in 2021-22.

The Kings last year had only one player finish with more than 30 goals, Trevor Moore, and this season the offense is going to need someone to really establish themselves as the main threat to put the puck in the net. If Kempe can do that, return to 35 goals (or even get to 40), this will help this offense in a big way.
