When looking at the top goalies in franchise history for the Los Angeles Kings, the discussion really starts at number two. There is no question that Jonathan Quick has a firm grasp on the title of being the greatest goalie in Kings' history.
Quick would play in 743 games over 16 seasons for the Kings with the next closest being Rogie Vachon, who played in 389 games over seven seasons. In fact, there is no other goalie who has played more than 10 seasons and only 12 goals with more than 100 games played.
While there wasn't much competition for number 1, there were plenty of goalies competing for second through fifth. With that in mind, these are the Top 5 goalies in Los Angeles Kings' franchise history.
Ranking the Los Angeles Kings' best goalies in franchise history
5. Kelly Hrudey (1989-1996)
Kelly Hrudey played eight seasons for the Kings and appeared in the third most games at 360 games. He would be credited with 145 wins and when looking at some of his stats it might be a little surprising as he had a save percentage of .895 and a goal against average of 3.47 which ranked 31st and 38th respectively.
However, the lower save percentage could have been due to the high volume of shots he faced as he ranks second in franchise history at 11,336. He was part of some of the best teams from the 1990s as the Kings made the playoffs in each of his first four seasons but also was part of the team at their worst when they went 28-43-11 in 1996-97.
