Last season Laferriere finished the season with just 23 points, 12 goals and 11 assists in his rookie season. With the way he is playing in the preseason Los Angeles might have a future leader to pair with Kopitar, who finished third on the team in points (70), second in assists (44) and fourth in goals (26).
Los Angeles made the playoffs last season, but were quickly eliminated in the first round by the eventual Western Conference champion Edmonton Oilers in five games. They look to build on last season’s success with veterans Kopitar, Adrian Kempe and Kevin Fiala, as well as a young rising star in Laferriere, who has shined in preseason.
For Anaheim, it is coming off a season where the team had the third-fewest wins in the NHL. That led to the selection of 18-year-old right-winger Beckett Sennecke as the third overall pick in the 2024 Draft. He is expected to miss the preseason and potentially the start of the season with a fracture in his foot.
