Summary
The LA Kings just locked down Scott Laughton with a three-year, $3.5M average-value extension through the 2029 season — and here’s why they’re thrilled: after a breakout 2023-24 campaign where he scored in his first two games as a King (a rare feat since 2000) and added 5 goals and 8 points in 21 games, Laughton’s proven he’s a clutch veteran. With over 740 NHL games, 100+ goals, and elite penalty-killing stats — including leading his draft class in shorthanded goals — he’s the perfect gritty, experienced piece to anchor their future. His best season came in 2022-23, and he’s also a gold medalist with Canada. This deal isn’t just about keeping a player — it’s about cementing a key identity for the Kings’ next chapter.
