The 1981–82 Los Angeles Kings season saw the Kings make the playoffs, winning the first round before falling in the second round to the Vancouver Canucks. The first round upset of the heavily favored Edmonton Oilers is considered to be one of the greatest upsets in NHL history.
The Kings were moved to the Smythe Division. The Kings now were in a division with western teams.
