Kings Struggle Continues, GM Blake Stands by Coach McLellan

Despite Recent Losses, No Major Changes Planned for the Team

The Kings have been struggling recently, losing nine of their past 10 games, and are currently in the middle of the Western Conference.
Despite the team's poor performance, General Manager Rob Blake has reaffirmed his support for Coach Todd McLellan and stated that there will be no major changes to the team.
Blake believes the Kings still have the potential to pull out of their slump, relying on the players and leadership to turn things around.
Center Pierre-Luc Dubois, who was aggressively pursued by the Kings in the offseason, has been underperforming, with only two power-play points and a team-low rating of negative-11.
Team captain Anze Kopitar has also been struggling, with no goals scored in 2024 and a decrease in his usually strong faceoff performance.
