Scott Thornton Lubomir Visnovsky (Does not include home game played in London, England) The 2007–08 Los Angeles Kings season was the 41st season (40th season of play) for the National Hockey League (NHL) franchise. Their season began with the team playing a neutral site home-and-home series with the defending Stanley Cup champion Anaheim Ducks at the O2 Arena in London, England, the first time the NHL has held a regular season game in Europe.
Along with the switch to the Rbk Edge uniforms instituted league-wide for 2007–08, the Kings also changed their goal celebration horn at Staples Center from a foghorn to a train horn.
Regular season
The Kings were officially eliminated from playoff contention in early March for the fifth consecutive season.
The Kings struggled on the penalty kill, finishing 30th overall in penalty-kill percentage (77.99%).
