Los Angeles and Arizona split a pair of rookie games at Toyota Sports Center in 2011, with the Kings falling 8-7 in the first game (goal scorers: Kozun x2, Andreoff x2, Weal, Czarnik, Kaunisto) before defeating the Coyotes 4-3 in the second game (goal scorers: Nolan x2, Weal, Vey).

Last year, the two teams faced off for a pair of rookie games at Gila River Arena, with the Kings falling 4-1 in the first game (goal scorer: McKeown) before rebounding for a 3-1 win in the second game (goal scorers: Watson, Zykov, Mersch).

Rookie camp rosters and schedules will be posted on LA Kings Insider later this week.
