The 2022–23 Los Angeles Kings season was the 56th season (55th season of play) for the National Hockey League franchise that was established on June 5, 1967.[1]
This was the first season without longtime winger Dustin Brown on the roster as he announced his retirement on April 28, 2022, following the 2022 Stanley Cup playoffs.[2] This season was also their last with longtime goaltender and Conn Smythe Trophy winner Jonathan Quick, who was traded on March 1, 2023, to the Columbus Blue Jackets;[3] the Blue Jackets traded Quick to the Vegas Golden Knights the following day.[4] The Kings qualified for the playoffs on April 2, 2023, after a win over the Vancouver Canucks. However in the playoffs the Edmonton Oilers would defeat the Kings for the second year in a row as they lost in six games. [5]
