The Los Angeles Kings hold a unique and unfortunate distinction: they are the only team to make the playoffs in all five seasons under the current ESPN and TNT broadcast deal without winning a single playoff series. This marks five consecutive first-round exits, highlighting a consistent inability to advance in the postseason, even when avoiding matchups with historically strong teams like the Oilers.
Impact: Medium. This statistic underscores a persistent struggle for the Kings to translate regular-season success into playoff victories, posing a significant challenge for the franchise's long-term aspirations.
