Draft Picks[]

Regular Season[]

Mario Gosselin was the first goaltender in NHL history to lose a game without giving up a goal. [1] Gosselin filled in for Kelly Hrudey and the Kings gave up an empty net goal. The result was a 7-6 loss to the Edmonton Oilers.

Wayne Gretzky's Scoring Record[]

On October 15, 1989, playing in only his 780th career game, Wayne Gretzky became the all-time leading scorer in NHL history, breaking the record of 1,850 career points set by his idol, Gordie Howe. Gretzky set the new record on a game-tying goal against Bill Ranford in the final minute of a contest against his former team, the Edmonton Oilers, in Edmonton. Afterwards, Howe was on hand to congratulate Gretzky on his accomplishment. The Kings went on to win the game in overtime.
