2023–24 Los Angeles Kings season

The 2023–24 Los Angeles Kings season was the 57th season (56th season of play) for the National Hockey League (NHL) franchise that was established on June 5, 1967.[1]

This season was the first full-season without longtime goaltender and Conn Smythe Trophy winner Jonathan Quick, who was traded on March 1, 2023, to the Columbus Blue Jackets;[2] the Blue Jackets traded Quick to the Vegas Golden Knights the following day.[3]

For the first time since the 2016–17 season, Anže Kopitar did not finish as the team's leading scorer in either goals or points, in addition to not leading in assists since his rookie season in 2006–07.

Following their December 7, 2023, 4–0 win against the Montreal Canadiens, the Kings set the opening road wins record at 11–0–0.[4] On February 2, 2024, the Kings fired head coach Todd McLellan, and named his assistant Jim Hiller as interim head coach.[5] On April 11, the Kings clinched a playoff berth for the third consecutive season after a 4–1 win against the Calgary Flames.[6] In the playoffs, the Kings faced the Edmonton Oilers for the third consecutive year losing in five games.[7]
