LA Kings Alex Iafallo

Alex Iafallo has been off to a red-hot start this season. The LA Kings‘ forward has six goals and seven assists, averaging a point per night while playing on the second line with Phillip Danault. On Tuesday, the 27-year-old Iafallo entered his name into the franchise history books, scoring just six seconds into the final frame.

Iafallo’s $4M AAV is looking like a great deal for the Kings as he’s on pace to score 36 goals over the 82-game schedule. The Eden, New York native had a career-high 17 goals during the 2019-20 season.

The Kings are riding a six-game winning streak, and Iafallo has been a big part of that. He has five goals and four assists over that stretch, taking a lot of pressure off Anze Kopitar and the Kings’ top line to produce the majority of the scoring.

Los Angeles is back at it against Ottawa on Thursday, with puck drop set for 4:00 pm PT.
