A New Chapter for the Third Line
Scott Laughton has re‑signed with the Los Angeles Kings after feeling a seamless fit with the organization, citing the support he has received from teammates, staff and management.
The veteran centre will anchor the third line, providing stability and value both on the ice and in the community.
The Kings are entering a transitional phase, aiming to contend while managing long‑term planning for the franchise.
Laughton’s new contract brings a sense of security for him and his family, allowing him to focus on contributing to the team’s success.
Having previously worked under coach Peter Laviolette, Laughton recalls the up‑tempo training camps that helped shape his game and looks forward to reuniting with that system.
He is eager to bring a positive influence to the locker room and to help fill some of the voids left by Anze Kopitar’s retirement.
