The Ducks continue their preseason slate welcoming the Kings to Honda Center.
Puck drop is set for 7 p.m. PT and will be aired on FOXLA+ (KCOP-13) and live streamed on AnaheimDucks.com.
Anaheim is 1-0-0 in preseason play with a 6-2 victory over San Jose on Sunday. Beckett Sennecke continued his strong campaign from last season with a hat trick in the win. His first two goals came within a span of just over four minutes.
Leo Carlsson, Jackson LaCombe, and Tristan Luneau scored the additional goals for Anaheim.
With Joel Quenneville in his second season as the Ducks head coach, he discussed his approach to attacking this year after a successful 2025-26 campaign.
“I know teams are going to be ready for us,” Quenneville said. “But I think our same objectives going into the season are we want to get off to a strong start. We know our division is going to be more competitive. Teams are definitely aware of what our strengths are.
"But we’re still going through training camp here and I know that expectations are going to be higher across the board. That’s healthy. But at the same time, it’s an everyday thing that the challenge is going to be out there and we have to respond in the right way. Everybody should take some more ownership of what it takes to be consistently a strong team.”
Los Angeles is 0-2-0 in the preseason and is coming off a 6-3 loss last night to Utah.
The Kings hired Peter Laviolette as their head coach in June, making him the 32nd head coach in team history. Laviolette is the seventh-winningest head coach in NHL history.
This will be the first season in the last two decades the Kings will be without Anze Kopitar on their roster, as the longtime forward called it a career and retired in April. As for roster moves, the team signed Mats Zuccarello, Erik Haula, and Corey Perry in free agency.
