National Hockey League team season
The
2016β17
Los Angeles Kings
season was the
50th season (49th season of play) for the
National Hockey League franchise that was established on June 5, 1967.
[1] The Kings did not qualify for the
2017 Stanley Cup playoffs , finishing with 86 points.
In March 2017, former
Calgary Flames star
Jarome Iginla signed with the Kings to play the remainder of the season there. Iginla retired after the season. Later that same month, longtime broadcaster
Bob Miller announced he would retire after the season. This season would also be the last for head coach
Darryl Sutter and general manager
Dean Lombardi , who would both be fired after the Kings' final regular season game.
Regular season overview
Staples Center in 2016, during the Kings' 50th Anniversary season.
This season marked the 50th anniversary of the Los Angeles Kings, who were looking for another chance at making the playoffs following the team's early exit in the 2016 Stanley Cup playoffs to the
San Jose Sharks . The Kings would host the
62nd National Hockey League All-Star Game on January 29, 2017, following the announcement back in January 2016 that the city of Los Angeles would host. During the off-season, forward
Anze Kopitar replaced
Dustin Brown as team captain, due to Brown's recent goal production drop.
The season would see several ups and downs for the team, ranging from injuries to key players, to younger players from the affiliate team
Ontario Reign getting more call-ups to the Kings, and some familiar faces from the Kings' two championship runs departing. On October 12, 2016, the Kings' starting netminder
Jonathan Quick would injure his groin in the team's first game of the season; he would not return until February 25, 2017. Former NHL veteran
Peter Budaj would be recalled from the Reign and serve as the starting goaltender in Quick's absence. Budaj would later be traded after Quick's return in exchange for
Ben Bishop .
[2]
Jeff Carter would lead the team in goal-scoring through the season, surpassing team captain Anze Kopitar, who struggled. He would be voted into the All-Star Game for his performance, along with defenseman
Drew Doughty . They are the only players from the Los Angeles Kings representing the team this year. Injuries to forwards
Tyler Toffoli and
Marian Gaborik (who was injured before the regular season) greatly impacted the scoring. However, it propelled forwards such as
Tanner Pearson and
Trevor Lewis , to score at a more higher rate than before. Gaborik would return to the ice on November 26, 2016. Toffoli, who was injured on December 20, 2016,
[3] would not return until February 4 after missing more than a month of action. On March 1, 2017, the Kings acquired
Jarome Iginla in a trade with the
Colorado Avalanche , who would put up 6 goals in his only season with the team. This season also marked the debut of 20-year old
Adrian Kempe .
The Kings' defense struggled in games and the team relied on the emergence of young defensemen
Derek Forbort ,
Kevin Gravel and
Paul LaDue to aid veterans
Drew Doughty ,
Alec Martinez ,
Jake Muzzin ,
Matt Greene and
Brayden McNabb . However, Forbort proved to be the more formidable of the three, and would play all 82 regular season games. Greene would unexpectedly play in his final season with the Kings and the NHL, after he got injured on January 20, 2017, be placed on long-term injured reserve, and would be bought out after the season.
[4]
[5]
Ultimately the Kings were chasing for a playoff spot all season and, despite the team's best efforts, missed the playoffs for the second time in three years.
Alternate uniform
On September 20, 2016, the Los Angeles Kings revealed a new alternate uniform for the season. Taking cues from their overall history, the jersey is silver with black stripes on the shoulders and sleeves, and a black tail stripe on the bottom; the thin silver stripes on the sleeves represents the team's two Stanley Cup Championships. The inner neckline of the jersey is purple, featuring five gold diamonds honoring the team's 50th anniversary. The Kings' jersey set contains two patches on the shoulders, one for the 50th Anniversary worn on the right shoulder and an All-Star patch worn on the left shoulder. Following the All-Star Break, the left shoulder patch would disappear. A patch honoring Bob Miller's 44 years of broadcasting Los Angeles Kings home games took over the left shoulder during the team's final two games.
