Kings history when trailing 3-1

The 1989 Los Angeles Kings are one of 22 teams to have rebounded from a 3-1 series deficit, having defeated the Edmonton Oilers three straight times in the Smythe Division Semifinals before eventually succumbing in four games to the eventual Cup-winning Calgary Flames in the second round. The Kings have won one of the 11 series in which they trailed three games to one, though they have won five of the last six Game 5s when faced with a 3-1 series deficit.

In Los Angeles’ most recent game played when faced with a 3-1 deficit, Jonathan Quick stopped 51 shots as Wayne Simmonds, Kyle Clifford and Dustin Penner scored in a 3-1 victory at San Jose on April 23, 2011.
