This Date in LA Kings History: April 28th

April 28, 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 28, 2012, Matt Greene became the second defenseman in @LAKings' history to score a shorthanded goal in the playoffs. Greene's first career playoff goal proved to be the game-winner in a 3-1 win in Game 1 against the St. Louis Blues.#LAKings #GoKingsGo pic.twitter.com/fLGS4OpT5m
