I agree. If this is a one off type game where LA was on a homestand and the schedule sneaks in an Ana road game then LA is back for a home game, then the players would meet at the arena or possibly at their practice facility and go from there.
Not sure if Kings players would like getting home from Crypto arena following the 45 minute bus ride back from Anaheim. But, guess it would come down to which is more convenient to where the majority of players live.
Rangers/Isles. I know the Rangers players practice in Rye, NY. I'd say for them, it's better to meet at the practice facility than having to get to MSG. Marc Staal, family guy was in the burbs, while the single players were in Manhattan.
