L.A. Kings to Retire Luc Robataille's Number 20

The Los Angeles Kings announced that they will retire “Lucky” Luc Robitaille’s number 20.

Robataille, who is the highest-scoring left winger in NHL history, will have his number retired in a pre-game ceremony on January 20 when the Kings play against the Phoenix Coyotes. Robitaille retired last season on April 17, according to the Los Angeles Kings.

During his 14-season run with the Los Angeles Kings, Robitaille has become the Kings' all-time goal scorer. He won a Stanley Cup with the Detroit Red Wings in 2002.

Luc finished his career playing in 1431 NHL regular season games, with 668 goals, 726 assists and 1394 points. He also played in 159 NHL playoff games with 58 goals and 127 points.

Luc Robitaille is listed number 10 in all-time goal leaders. He joins some impressive company, as the only other players with retired numbers in Los Angeles are Rogie Vachon, Marcel Dionne, Dave Taylor and Wayne Gretzky.
