The 1991–92 Los Angeles Kings season saw the Kings finishing second in the Smythe Division with a record of 35-31-14. However, they were eliminated in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs by the Edmonton Oilers. The Kings were coached by Tom Webster and captained by Wayne Gretzky.
In the Entry Draft, the Kings first pick, in the second round, was used to choose Guy Leveque from the Cornwall Royals of the Ontario Hockey League. Their first-round pick had been dealt to the Edmonton Oilers in the Wayne Gretzky trade.
On September 27, 1991, the Kings played the New York Rangers in the first ever outdoor NHL game in Las Vegas, Nevada, at Caesars Palace. This was also the first NHL game in Las Vegas since 1968. The crowd on hand was 13,000 with the Kings beating the Rangers 5 to 2.
