This Date in LA Kings History: April 8th

April 8, 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 8, 1990, @TonyGranato became the first player in @LAKings' history to score a shorthanded goal in overtime. The 2-1 win in Game 3 gave the #LAKings a 2-1 series lead over the Calgary Flames in the Smythe Division Semifinals.#GoKingsGo pic.twitter.com/SGK6W7snF6

On April 8, 1993, Luc Robitaille set an NHL record for most goals in a season by a left winger when he scored his 61st goal of the season in the @LAKings' 2-1 win against the San Jose Sharks.#LAKings #GoKingsGo pic.twitter.com/Qv04riummi

After 44 seasons, Hall of Fame broadcaster Bob Miller called his final @LAKings’ home game on April 8, 2017. Dustin Brown tied the game late in regulation, and Drew Doughty scored the game-winning goal 27 seconds into overtime for a 3-2 win against Chicago.#LAKings #GoKingsGo pic.twitter.com/Rigq40xKTj
