## Resource

The LA Kings are desperate for breakthroughs after five straight first-round exits, and Alex Turcotte, a former top-five pick entering his contract year, is being called on to deliver big-time in 2026-27. After a disappointing offensive dip last season—just 3 goals and 14 points despite ranking high in scoring chances—Turcotte’s time to prove he belongs may be running out. With young forwards like Sammy Helenius and Kenny Connors pushing for roster spots, Turcotte must show new coach Peter Laviolette in training camp that he’s still got the potential to be a key contributor—or risk being left behind.
