In their first home game back to Crypto.com Arena, the Los Angeles Kings and the visiting Pittsburgh Penguins honoured the local fire department by wearing LAFD hats during warm-ups and partaking in a centre-ice ceremony ahead of first puck drop.

The circumstances were particularly meaningful for Pittsburgh forward Blake Lizotte, who started his NHL career with the Kings and had 106 points (37 goals, 69 assists) in 320 games for them. This was his first game at Crypto.com Arena as a visitor, but the LAFD hat he wore after the morning skate reflected the larger circumstances.

Having lost four of their past five games, the Kings look to shake a lopsided loss to Pittsburgh and welcome Eastern powerhouse Florida on Wednesday night
