Los Angeles Kings Rivalries
In the City of Angels, one hockey team may be king, but plenty of other West Coast clubs are always after their crown. Here are some of the LA Kings most fierce rivalries:
Los Angeles Kings vs. Anaheim Ducks
Known as the “Freeway Face-Off,” this rivalry stems from the geographic proximity of the two Southern California teams. The rivalry heated up after the Anaheim Ducks joined the NHL in 1993, and it peaked during their 2014 playoff series, where the Kings won in seven games en-route to a Stanley Cup. Both teams have a history of physical, low-scoring games, fueled by fan loyalty and local bragging rights.
The Kings play the Ducks on:
- October 20 at 8 p.m. ET on NHL Network
- November 29 at 3:30 p.m. ET
- February 8, 2025 at 10:30 p.m. ET
- April 10, 2025 at 10 p.m. on ESPN+
Los Angeles Kings vs. San Jose Sharks
This rivalry, often referred to as the “Battle of California,” features intense matchups between the Kings and the San Jose Sharks. Their playoff history includes several memorable series, particularly in 2014 when the Kings completed a historic comeback from a 3-0 series deficit to eliminate the Sharks. The rivalry is fueled by regional pride and high-stakes playoff clashes.
Los Angeles and San Jose will face off on:
- October 24 at 10:30 p.m. ET
- October 29 at 10 p.m. ET on ESPN
- November 25 at 10:30 p.m. ET
- March 30, 2025 at 10 p.m. on ESPN
Los Angeles Kings vs. Vegas Golden Knights
Despite being a newer team, the Vegas Golden Knights have quickly become one of the Kings’ top rivals. This rivalry ignited after Vegas eliminated the Kings in the first round of the 2018 playoffs, with close, hard-fought games. The rise of the Golden Knights has added a new layer of competition for dominance in the Pacific Division.
LA will take on Vegas on:
- October 22 at 11 p.m. ET on ESPN and ESPN+
- October 30 at 10 p.m. ET on TNT
