Los Angeles Kings Information
The Kings joined the NHL in 1967. They play in the Pacific Division of the Western Conference. Despite having the best player in the NHL, Wayne Gretzky, for many years, the Kings never won a Stanley Cup. They did make one appearance in the finals in the 1992-93 season, but lost in five games to the Canadiens.
In 2008 and 2009, the Kings finished last in their division. They made it into the playoffs in 2010, but lost to the Canucks in six games in the Quarterfinals. In 2011, they played in the playoffs again, but lost in six games in the Quarterfinals again, this time to the San Jose Sharks.
This season, the Kings are trying to make it three years of playoff appearances in a row. In a close division, they are running out of time. Look for them to try to finish off the season strong and make a run at the playoffs.
