When the NHL made it publicly known that they had intentions to expand for the 1967-68 season, Canadien entrepreneur Jack Kent Cooke paid the league $2 million to ensure that one of the six expansion teams would be established in Los Angeles. Following a fan competition, Cooke named the team the Los Angeles Kings.

As construction was underway at their new arena, the Kings made their NHL debut at Long Beach Arena on October 14th, 1967. Los Angeles defeated a fellow expansion team, the Philadelphia Flyers, 2-0 on the opening night of the 1967-68 season. Following a 31-33-10 record in their first season in the league, the Kings made their first trip to the NHL postseason. Los Angeles lost the 1968 Quarter Finals to the North Stars in seven games. 

Although they made the playoffs twice in their first two seasons, it took the Kings eight year to post a winning record in the regular season, finishing the 1974-75 season with a 42-17-21 record and making their third playoff appearance. Between 1974 and 1982 seasons, Los Angeles made nine consecutive trips to the playoffs, however team success still eluded the Kings. Los Angeles got their first piece of NHL silverware in 1991, winning their first division championship (Smyth) following a 46-24-10 regular season record. 

Led by the ‘the Great One’ Wayne Gretzky and stand-in captain Luc Robitaille, the Kings continued their success in 1993, finishing the regular season with a 39-35-10 record and making their deepest ever playoff run. Los Angeles made their first trip to the Conference Finals in the ‘93 playoffs and defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs in seven games to win their first conference championship and advance to their debut Stanley Cup Finals. They defeated the Montreal Canadiens in Game 1, however Motreal won the next four games to win the series and championship. 

After their defeat in the 1993 Stanley Cup Finals, Los Angeles missed the playoffs each of the next four consecutive seasons and 11 times in the following 15 years. The Kings broke a six season playoff drought in 2009 and began a golden era for the franchise.

Led by Jonathan Quick, Drew Doughty, Dustin Brown, Anze Kopitar and Justin Williams, Los Angeles recorded their third consecutive 40+ win season in 2011-12. In the 2012 playoffs, the Kings posted a 12-2 record through their first three series to advance to the 2012 Stanley Cup Finals and win their second conference championship. Los Angeles faced the New Jersey Devils in the Finals and defeated them in six games to win their first Stanley Cup in franchise history.

At the conclusion of the shortened 2012-13 lockout season, the Kings failed to defend their Stanley Cup title, losing the Western Conference Finals to the Blackhawks in seven games. However, the NHL returned to its regular 82 game length for the 2013-14 season and the Kings subsequently recorded their fourth 40+ win season over the past five years. 

In what was a tough postseason for Los Angeles, the Kings became the first team in NHL history to win three game sevens on their way to a Stanley Cup Finals berth, claiming their third conference championship in the process. After making it out of a loaded Western Conference, Los Angeles won the Stanley Cup in five games, culminating with an Alec Martinez goal in the second overtime of Game 5 at Staples Center.

Since their second championship in franchise history, the Kings have made just two trips to the playoffs (failing to qualify on five occasions), however they have not won a postseason series since their 2014 Stanley Cup victory.

Los Angeles finished the 2021 season with a 21-28-7 record. Their 49 points saw them finish sixth in the West Division (formed due to COVID-19), which resulted in the team missing the playoffs for the third consecutive season.
