The Kings showed improvement while fielding the youngest team in the league (in terms of average age per player), but came up short of breaking a playoff drought that stretches back to the 2001–02 season. Despite a tough schedule that saw them play 17 of their final 24 games away from the Staples Center, the Kings managed to stay in the playoff hunt for much of the year. They played in 43 games decided by one goal, and their record in these games was 20–12–11. Alexander Frolov led the team in goals with 32, his fifth-consecutive season with at least 20 or more goals. The last King to post five consecutive season with over 20 goals was Luc Robitaille in the 1993–94 season. Moreover, defenseman Sean O'Donnell reached a milestone by playing in his 1,000th career NHL game on March 14. Pre-season On June 10, the Kings fired Head Coach Marc Crawford after failing to make the post-season in back-to-back seasons. Crawford posted a 59–84–21 record during his tenure. He was replaced on July 17 by Terry Murray, who takes over his fourth NHL team. Murray had previously coached the Washington Capitals, Florida Panthers and Philadelphia Flyers, where he led the latter to the 1997 Stanley Cup Finals. Entering the season, Murray's career record is 360–288–89. 2008 Pre-season Game Log: 3–2–3 (Home: 2–1–2; Road: 1–1–1) # Date Visitor Score Home OT Decision Attendance Record Recap 1 September 22 St. Louis 1–2 Los Angeles ? ? 1–0–0 https://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/stl-vs-lak/2008/09/22/2008010004 St. Louis Blues - Los Angeles Kings - September 22nd, 2008 National Hockey League live https://web.archive.org/web/20110604162252/http://www.nhl.com/ice/recap.htm?id=2008010004 June 4, 2011 2 September 22 Phoenix 4–6 Los Angeles Taylor 8,221 2–0–0 https://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/phx-vs-lak/2008/09/22/2008010008 National Hockey League Phoenix Coyotes - Los Angeles Kings - September 22nd, 2008 live https://web.archive.org/web/20110604162436/http://www.nhl.com/ice/recap.htm?id=2008010008 June 4, 2011 3 September 24 Los Angeles 4–3 Colorado SO Quick ? 3–0–0 https://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/lak-vs-col/2008/09/24/2008010019 Los Angeles Kings - Colorado Avalanche - September 24th, 2008 National Hockey League live https://web.archive.org/web/20110604162453/http://www.nhl.com/ice/recap.htm?id=2008010019 June 4, 2011 4 September 27 Colorado 4–3 Los Angeles SO ? ? 3–0–1 https://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/col-vs-lak/2008/09/27/2008010046 Colorado Avalanche - Los Angeles Kings - September 27th, 2008 National Hockey League live https://web.archive.org/web/20110604162555/http://www.nhl.com/ice/recap.htm?id=2008010046 June 4, 2011 5 September 30 Anaheim 2–1 Los Angeles SO LaBarbera 11,904 3–0–2 https://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/ana-vs-lak/2008/09/30/2008010065 Anaheim Ducks - Los Angeles Kings - September 30th, 2008 National Hockey League live https://web.archive.org/web/20110604162602/http://www.nhl.com/ice/recap.htm?id=2008010065 June 4, 2011 6 October 1 Los Angeles 2–3 Anaheim OT Ersberg 16,410 3–0–3 https://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/lak-vs-ana/2008/10/01/2008010075 Los Angeles Kings - Anaheim Ducks - October 1st, 2008 National Hockey League live https://web.archive.org/web/20100310005029/http://www.nhl.com/ice/recap.htm?id=2008010075 March 10, 2010 7 October 4 Los Angeles 2–5 Phoenix Quick 8,621 3–1–3 https://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/lak-vs-phx/2008/10/04/2008010092 Los Angeles Kings - Phoenix Coyotes - October 4th, 2008 National Hockey League live https://web.archive.org/web/20100108104845/http://www.nhl.com/ice/recap.htm?id=2008010092 January 8, 2010 8 October 5 San Jose 3–1 Los Angeles ? ? 3–2–3 https://www.nhl.com/gamecenter/sjs-vs-lak/2008/10/05/2008010103 San Jose Sharks - Los Angeles Kings - October 5, 2008 National Hockey League live https://web.archive.org/web/20100310004346/https://www.nhl.com/ice/recap.htm?id=2008010103 March 10, 2010 Regular season The Kings made great strides in the 2008–09 season. They went from 30th in the NHL a year prior in penalty killing to seventh-best in the league, with an 82.9% rating. They had the League's fourth-best faceoff win percentage and allowed the fourth-fewest shots on goal. Five players played in all 82 regular games: Anze Kopitar, Michal Handzus, Matt Greene, Sean O'Donnell and rookie Wayne Simmonds. Several surprises also emerged during the season. Kyle Quincey was acquired via waivers shortly after season started from the Detroit Red Wings, necessitated by an injury to defenseman Jack Johnson. Quincey went on to finish second in the team in assists and averaged over 20 minutes of ice time per game. Drew Doughty, the second overall pick in the 2008 NHL entry draft, immediately contributed to the team, leading the Kings in ice time and was second in blocked shots. He finished in the top ten in the NHL in several categories, and was considered a strong Calder Memorial Trophy candidate for Rookie of the Year honors. Another surprise was Jonathan Quick, who emerged as the team's number one goaltender. Quick was thrust into the line-up following the trade of Jason LaBarbera in mid-season to the Vancouver Canucks and due to an injury to Erik Ersberg. All Quick lead the team in every goaltending category, posting the third highest win total for a rookie in Kings history. He finished third in the league among rookie netminder in goals against average, and played in 22 of the final 27 and 41 of the final 52 Kings games He had a 1.76 goals-against average (16 GA in 546:03) and .942 save percentage (258 saves in 274 shots) in nine straight appearances from March 22 to April 9. The Kings finished the regular season having been shut out 12 times, tying the Colorado Avalanche for the most times shut out.https://www.hockey-reference.com/leagues/NHL_2009_games.html 2008-09 NHL Schedule and Results Hockey-Reference.com live https://web.archive.org/web/20211211105139/https://www.hockey-reference.com/leagues/NHL_2009_games.html December 11, 2021 The Western Conference remained a tight race throughout the season, and the Kings were not officially eliminated from the playoffs until two weeks remained in the season.
