Los Angeles Kings interim coach D.J. Smith expressed confidence in his team’s readiness to compete despite being on the brink of a first-round sweep by the Colorado Avalanche, having lost 4-2 in Game 3 and trailing the series 3-0. The Kings, struggling with offensive production, managed to tie the game before the Avs pulled ahead. With a history of postseason struggles, Smith emphasized the need for a strong performance in Game 4 as the team seeks to extend their season and honor captain Anze Kopitar, who may retire after this season.
