It began with wholesale changes, as during the off-season the Kings acquired centers Pavol Demitra and Jeremy Roenick to help solidify their offense, as well as goaltender Jason LaBarbera. The changes appeared to pay off, as the Kings stormed out to a 15–6–1 record, and first place in the division. The team, however, collapsed, winning only 27 of their remaining 60 games, finishing fourth in the Pacific Division, and out of the playoffs for the third consecutive season. Head Coach Andy Murray was fired for their final 12 games with John Torchetti taking over, despite the team finishing with an impressive 42 wins. Regular season January 19, 2006 – Luc Robitaille becomes the Kings' all-time leading goal scorer. The Kings finished the regular season with the most power play opportunities, tying the Phoenix Coyotes with 541. They also finished 30th overall in penalty-kill percentage, at 78.73%.https://www.hockey-reference.com/leagues/NHL_2006.html 2005-06 NHL Summary Final standings LAK LAK Schedule and results background:#fff;
