Goaltender Rogie Vachon began this series by posting back-to-back shutouts in Game’s 1 and 2 for the 7th-seeded ’74-’75 Kings. He didn’t face many shots, but he stopped them all. The 2nd-seeded ’11-’12 Kings did not generate much offense at all in this series and their highest shots on goal total in a single game was just 21 in this series. The ’74-’75 Kings won Game 1 by a score of 3-0 with Tom Williams leading the way offensively with two assists. Then, they won Game 2 by a score of 2-0 as Williams and Dan Maloney were the lone goal scorers. The ’11-’12 Kings finally got on the board in the series with a 2-1 win in Game 3 as Anze Kopitar scored the game-winner in the third, but that would be their lone win in the series. The ’74-’75 Kings got back to their winning ways in a big way with a 5-2 win in Game 4. Bob Berry scored twice and added an assist to lead the ’74-’75 Kings offensively. They then wrapped up the upset with a 2-1 win in Game 5 where they scored both goals in the first period. With this upset now, both of the Cup-winning teams in the Kings’ history have been eliminated in the First Round of the Qualifying Tournament.
