This Date in LA Kings History: April 5th

April 5, 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 5, 1980, Marcel Dionne recorded two assists and captured the Art Ross Trophy as the NHL's leading scorer with 137 points. Charlie Simmer also scored two goals and became the first player in @LAKings' history to lead the league in goals with 56.#LAKings #GoKingsGo pic.twitter.com/avooLGS9Vm
