Alex Turcotte’s career hangs in the balance as he enters his make-or-break contract year with the Los Angeles Kings. After a promising 2024-25 season, his production plummeted last year—down to just 3 goals and 14 points in 62 games, with a dismal 4.5% shooting percentage. Injuries derailed his progress, and despite a key trade opening up a spot, he failed to seize the moment. With a projected fourth-line role and veteran centers ahead of him, Turcotte must deliver consistent offense—aiming for 10 goals and 20-25 points—to prove he’s worth keeping around. The Kings need him to be a reliable bottom-six contributor, not a superstar, but if he can finally convert those scoring chances and stay healthy, it could be the breakthrough that secures his future in LA.
