In a promo video for his upcoming tour date at the Los Angeles Convention Center, the masked music man ends up in a dream sequence with Kings forward Adrian Kempe and defenseman Christian Folin, which they volunteered for.

"I think I signed up pretty quick," Folin said. "I really wanted to do it. I wanted to meet him. I've seen him play a couple shows so it would be fun."
Kempe and Folin are both fans of EDM, which is popular in their native Sweden.
"There's a lot of DJs from back home, so, obviously, that's stuff that I listen to," Kempe said. "I like him. He's awesome."

Marshmello's hockey skills left a little to be desired, however.
"Not great," Folin said. "He said he'd been out there for an hour before. I don't know if he's skated before, but he was pretty good. He started picking it up. And then he played goalie for a little bit, too, which was kind of fun. We shot some pucks at him that he tried to stop as best he could."
The Kings thought they did were pretty good actors, but it sounds like everyone will be better off sticking to their day jobs.
"Oh, I don't know if I'm a good actor, but it took us a couple chances," Folin said. "It's always fun to do that kind of stuff and see what goes on behind the scenes, how many cameras and angles they have and with the lighting and everything around it. It was a pretty cool experience."
