Offseason fantasy hockey outlook for the LA Kings and the Dallas Stars…
Los Angeles
The Kings missed the playoffs despite scoring 14 more goals this season than in 2013/14. That was offset by allowing 31 more goals based on allowing an extra shot per game and their save percentage dropping one point. It is probably more telling that their shot differential fell by a shot and a half as they were not their usual possession beasts selves. A big reason for this is the loss of Slava Voynov, a top four defensemen, for the majority of the season. That forced Doughty into the 30 minute per game range and forced other defensemen into more minutes in tougher situations. The result was the Kings allowed more goals, were less dominant and could not complete their traditional late season closing kick.
