This Date in LA Kings History: October 5th

October 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 October 5, 1978, the @LAKings acquired Murray Wilson and a 1979 first round draft pick (Jay Wells) from the Montreal Canadiens for a 1981 first round draft pick (Gilbert Delorme). Wilson scored 11 goals and 26 points in 58 games with the #LAKings in 1978-79.#GoKingsGo pic.twitter.com/UBVoOBagxg

On October 5, 1989, Tom Webster earned his first two points behind the @LAKings bench in a 4-2 win versus Toronto. Larry Robinson recorded two assists in his #LAKings debut, and Wayne Gretzky's assist brought him 13 points shy of passing Gordie Howe's scoring record.#GoKingsGo pic.twitter.com/Ow26H4aXHl

On October 5, 1992, Luc Robitaille was named interim captain of the @LAKings. In 1992-93, Robitaille set the NHL scoring record for most goals (63, since surpassed by Alex Ovechkin) and most points (125) in a season by a left winger.#LAKings #GoKingsGo pic.twitter.com/8NelLrQa2d
