This Date in LA Kings History: April 2nd

April 2, 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 2, 1969, Ted Irvine became the first player in @LAKings' history to score an overtime goal in a playoff game. Irvine also set an #LAKings' record for fastest playoff overtime goal when he scored 19 seconds into sudden death in a 5-4 win against Oakland.#GoKingsGo pic.twitter.com/JITIPFpjvv

Dionne scored his 11th career hat trick, and with five points, registered his 120th point of the season in a 7-2 win against the Minnesota North Stars.#LAKings #GoKingsGo pic.twitter.com/GzTDRVEd3C
