The Kings have had regular-season success over the past four seasons, but have been bounced from the postseason in the first round by the Edmonton Oilers each time.
The Avalanche haven’t advanced deep into the playoffs either since winning the Stanley Cup in 2022. The Avs were missing Gabriel Landeskog for three of those regular seasons, but he’ll be back on the ice for opening night.
