Early last month, the Kings went through a rather significant makeover at forward. Gone are names like Kuzmenko, Malott, and Kopitar; while a slew of additions came in the form of a returning Corey Perry, along with several free agent signings.

Now, building upon a recent video compilation we shared highlighting every LA Kings goal scored during the 2025-26, we’re back with another short by the NHL video production team. This time around they’ve pulled together every goal scored by the current roster — even though guys like Mats Zuccarello and Erik Haula were actually wearing other jerseys when they scored their goals last year.

Even though NHL teams typically have two goaltenders on their active roster for any given game, one isn’t always available to make critical saves in a game. Occasionally, that responsibility falls upon one of the five skaters on the ice — sometimes a forward, sometimes a defenseman.

With that in mind, the NHL video production team has pulled together a fun compilation of what they describe as — “The best non-goalie saves of the 2025-26 NHL season, featuring desperate goal-line clearances, diving stick stops, last-second skate saves and players doing everything possible to keep the puck out! Skaters become the last line of defense—and every goal-saving play gets better.”
