The 1979β80 Los Angeles Kings season was the Kings' 13th season in the National Hockey League. It saw the Kings qualify for the playoffs, placing second in the Norris Division, but they lost in the first round to the New York Islanders. Just prior to the end of the season, the Kings sent Butch Goring to the Islanders for Billy Harris and Dave Lewis. Goring would help the Islanders defeat the Kings on their way to their first of 4 Stanley Cup wins. They also had the worst penalty kill percentage in a season in the history of the NHL at 67.70%.
