This Date in LA Kings History: June 5th

June 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 June 5, 1972, the @LAKings selected defenseman Barry Long from the Chicago Blackhawks at the NHL Intra-League Draft. In two seasons with the #LAKings, Long recorded 37 points and 166 penalty minutes in 130 games.#GoKingsGo pic.twitter.com/L3ACYrMfgY

On June 5, 1991, Dave Taylor became the first player in NHL history to win the Masterton Trophy and King Clancy Trophy in the same year. Taylor became the third @LAKings player to win the Masterton, and the first player in team history to win the King Clancy.#LAKings #GoKingsGo pic.twitter.com/EBmoE3YjV5

On June 5, 1993, the @LAKings hosted their first Stanley Cup Final at the Great Western Forum. The #LAKings rallied back from a three-goal deficit to tie the game, but the Montreal Canadiens would win 34 seconds into overtime to take a 2-1 series lead.#GoKingsGo pic.twitter.com/4CRTuzCVKp
