The Los Angeles Kings dropped to 0-6-0 on Tuesday, becoming the only team in the NHL without a victory this season. Edmonton defeated the Kings 4-1 at home despite Los Angeles holding a 40-16 advantage in shots.
Darcy Kuemper was removed in the opening period after yielding three goals on seven attempts. Anton Forsberg entered in relief and turned aside all nine shots he faced. Kuemper carries a 4.53 goals-against average while earning $5.25 million; Forsberg's figure sits at 2.63 with a $2.25 million salary.
The setback followed a similar pattern from Saturday, when Boston beat Los Angeles 4-1. Forsberg started that contest and blocked 24 of 26 attempts. Alex Laferriere provided the Kings' only score against Jeremy Swayman, with the Bruins adding two empty-net tallies after coach Peter Laviolette removed his goaltender.
Laviolette has adjusted lineups and pulled goalies through six games, yet the club has recorded no wins and two overtime defeats. "If it's not a win, it's a loss," the coach said.
