It's the same old story for the Kings in the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs: a first-round exit at the hands of the Oilers.

The Los Angeles Kings are on the brink of a crushing postseason exit. The Kings went ahead 2-0 in their first-round series with the Edmonton Oilers. However, they have lost each of the last three games.

Rob Blake is out after eight seasons as the Los Angeles Kings' vice president and general manager. The Kings announced a mutual parting with Blake on Monday, four days after Los Angeles lost to Edmonton in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs for the fourth consecutive season.
