Complete Kings and Ducks schedules released for 2021 season

The upcoming NHL season became a little clearer Monday, when the league released start times for each team’s 56-game schedule.

The majority of the Kings’ and Ducks’ home games — which will be played inside empty arenas to start the season — will begin at 7 p.m.

The Kings’ only alternative home start times are three 6 p.m. puck drops (Feb. 16 and March 5-6), a 5 p.m. start on April 14, and a 3 p.m. start on March 21.

The Ducks’ first two home games on Jan. 18 and 20 will begin at 6 and 6:30 p.m., respectively. All five of their Sunday home games will be earlier starts as well — 5 p.m. on Jan. 24, Jan. 31 and April 11; 6 p.m. on April 4; and 1 p.m. on April 18).

The NHL announced that a Kings-Ducks game at Staples Center originally scheduled for Feb. 3 has been moved up a day to Feb. 2.

Here are both teams’ full schedules:
