This Date in LA Kings History: April 18th

April 18, 2021 By Harry Ouzounian

From their humble beginning as one of the NHL’s Second Six expansion teams in 1967, through winning two Stanley Cups in three years and becoming a league powerhouse in 2012-14, the LA Kings have experienced a rich hockey history over the past 50-plus years. Below are some key franchise moments that occurred on this date.

On April 18, 1999, the @LAKings played their last regular season game in Inglewood. Jason Blake scored in his NHL debut, and Vladimir Tsyplakov scored the last #LAKings' goal at the Great Western Forum against the St. Louis Blues.#GoKingsGo pic.twitter.com/Y9QSC7fLmI

On April 18, 2001, the @LAKings came back from a 3-0 deficit against the Detroit Red Wings and scored three goals in the third period to force overtime. Eric Belanger then caused a "Frenzy on Figueroa" with his overtime goal in Game 4 at @STAPLESCenter.#LAKings #GoKingsGo pic.twitter.com/z1dmtuQJC9
