The Los Angeles Kings have dug themselves into a hole early in this 2025-26 season. The team is 1-3-2, sitting 30th in the NHL. Los Angeles lost their last four games, three of which by one goal and two of those beyond regulation.

Perry signed with the Kings as a free agent last summer, but the 2011 NHL MVP injured his knee while skating before the start of training camp in September.
