GDT Round 1 Game 2 GDT LA Kings @ Colorado Avalanche 4/19/26 7:00pm on ESPN & FanDuel So Cal***

Seems like Kuzy is IN, but Daily Faceoff has not updated the lineups, so I'm not changing them in the OP.

Hope he can bring some extra fire - would be great to get the 1st goal tonight. So many chances in the 1st period last game that we could have been up 1 or 2. Keep up the hitting - I don't think these Avs are used to that since they play a speed game.

GO KINGS GO!!!

I wonder what the injury stats is for MacKinnon & Makar. They might have suffered from whiplash snapping their necks back

What the hell? Are you serious?

LOL....they did seem to be in some serious pain.
But, for real, I don't think these Avs are used to such a physical game - we need to take advantage and draw them into taking penalties. Even though we won't score on the PP, at least it gives us a chance to wear them down.

It's mind blowing that the Kings PP can be an advantage over their opponents, haha.

Looks like Kuzmenko slotting in on the third line. Turcotte centers fourth line.

Where’d you see this? All i have seen is no lineup reported but changes may be made.

Appreciate the GDT!!

Go Kings!!!!

Who knows,maybe DJ Smith wants to keep Bednar and the AQvs guessing on which Kings players will be in the Game 2 starting lineup until DJ Smith makes a game time roster decision.

 

[Halfwall]

I don’t mind this at all.

Indeed, at least until Manson scrambles the Turc's brains against the boards.

I think this is actually the case. Lineup still not announced anywhere i can see.

Of course this is a bit silly. Avs aren’t concerned about changes in Kings’ bottom 6.

 

[Rogie-Vachon]

The 4th line bangers... RIP apparently

 

[dneprovec]

Why so much Kempe hate at Denver ??
makes no sense

I have work at 7:30 so phone is getting powered down…can’t afford to check the score.

Driving into work tonight I put on the Colorado radio feed…dear God these two guys are awful. Play by play guy sounds like a used car salesman. Color guy sounds like he needs to constantly clear his throat.

They talked about how they didn’t realize Kempe had that in his bag of tricks (nastiness). I guess the lanch are all angels.

Please Kings beats the Avs just to humble those two guys.

 

[Liz4LA]

Keep on fighting Kings.

Gotta stick it to them, LA. GKG.

Hockey Royalty tweet. I assumed it was how the Kings were practicing but I guess we’ll see.

Edit: no changes to lineup.

Ah I gotcha. Then that would just be what those guys wanted to see.

 

[Peanut4]

Go kings go! It's a late one for us on the East Coast, guess we'll see how long I last with having to get up early!

 

[Clif]

Good hitting by 4th line their first shift.

 

[Liz4LA]

Mikey with the block!

Nice PK by the Kings and the Avs on their own PP
