This Date in LA Kings History: April 6th

April 6, 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 6, 2019, Blake Lizotte made his @LAKings debut in the last game of the regular season at @STAPLESCenter. Ilya Kovalchuk scored two goals, and Matt Roy recorded his first career game-winning goal in a 5-2 win against the Vegas Golden Knights.#LAKings #GoKingsGo pic.twitter.com/fAmnQjfrr3

On April 6, 1968, Terry Sawchuk became the first goaltender in @LAKings' history to record a playoff shutout in a 2-0 win against the Minnesota North Stars. The #LAKings also became the first team in NHL history to win its first two playoff games.#GoKingsGo pic.twitter.com/HxvaRDZRS5

On April 6, 1991, Wayne Gretzky scored his 17th career playoff game-winning goal in overtime to give the @LAKings a 3-2 win over the Canucks. The Game 2 win drew the #LAKings even with Vancouver in the Smythe Division Semifinals.#GoKingsGo pic.twitter.com/oCPCgwNVLA
