## Resource

Scott Laughton’s gritty, two-way game made him a perfect fit for the Kings’ third line last season—scoring early, winning faceoffs, and anchoring the penalty kill. Though he faded in the playoffs, his value as a reliable defensive presence and clutch draw specialist is undeniable. With a new three-year deal, he’s set to be even more critical as Kopitar retires, and the Kings hope for 10-15 goals and 25-30 points—a modest but vital contribution to their playoff push.
