Anaheim Ducks vs. Los Angeles Kings - News - October 04, 2025 | FOX Sports

Kyle Burroughs - Placed on injured reserve The Kings placed Burroughs (upper body) on injured reserve Sunday.

Impact Burroughs sustained an upper-body injury during Tuesday's preseason game against the Mammoth and will be forced to miss at least the first week of the regular season. However, he's unlikely to play a significant role for Los Angeles this year, even when he's healthy.

Alex Laferriere - Not at 100 percent Laferriere (undisclosed) is not at 100 percent and is questionable for Opening Night versus the Avalanche on Tuesday.

Impact The Kings also play Wednesday on the road in Vegas after their home opener Tuesday, so it's possible Laferriere could miss a game or two early in the campaign. The 23-year-old is penciled in for a middle-six role once he's back to full health.

Kyle Burroughs - Unavailable Saturday Burroughs (upper body) isn't expected to play in Saturday's preseason game versus Anaheim, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

Impact Burroughs had three assists and 39 PIM in 33 regular-season outings with the Kings in 2024-25. The 30-year-old might spend the season with Los Angeles, but he's probably going to only occasionally be in the lineup, even if he's healthy.

Darcy Kuemper - Set to start Saturday Kuemper is expected to guard the home goal for Saturday's preseason game against Anaheim, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

Impact Kuemper had a 31-11-7 record, 2.02 GAA and .921 save percentage across 50 regular-season appearances with the Kings in 2024-25. He's expected to open this season as LA's No. 1 netminder, so he'll probably also get the nod for Tuesday's regular-season opener versus Colorado.
