This Date in LA Kings History: July 24th

July 24, 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 July 24, 2002, the @LAKings acquired Erik Rasmussen from the Buffalo Sabres for Adam Mair and a fifth round draft pick. Rasmussen scored four goals and 16 points in 57 games with the #LAKings.#GoKingsGo pic.twitter.com/CTHKKuKIKa

In his third stint with the team, Robitaille led the #LAKings with 51 points in 80 games, and became the NHL's highest scoring left winger by recording his 1,370th career point.#GoKingsGo pic.twitter.com/rAOaQ4UdIY
