Kings forward Adrian Kempe signed an eight-year, $85MM contract extension after lowering his salary request, recognizing he may have left money on the table as free agency options dwindle; he’s currently performing well with 19 points in 20 games. Additionally, defenseman Drew Doughty is expected to miss 2-3 weeks due to a lower-body injury, while goaltender Pheonix Copley is being recalled from the AHL to give Darcy Kuemper a rest.
