Kings lose to Bruins, start season with six straight defeats

The Los Angeles Kings fell 4-1 to the Boston Bruins on October 17, 2026, marking their sixth consecutive loss to open the 2026-2027 NHL season. After an early goal by Alex Laferriere just 31 seconds into the game, the Kings could not capitalize on their momentum, allowing the Bruins to equalize and then pull ahead. Empty-net goals by Elias Lindholm and JJ Peterka sealed the victory for Boston. Struggling to score, the Kings have not yet secured a win this season, averaging only two goals per game. The team now embarks on a five-game road trip starting October 20 against the Washington Capitals.
