It was a legend…wait for it…dary night at Staples Center in Los Angeles Thursday night as the Kings wore their gold jerseys for Legends Night.

The Kings honoured former coach Barry Melrose prior to its game against the Calgary Flames, the first-of-three ex-Kings to be recognized by the organization this season.

Melrose was the head coach in Los Angeles from 1992-95, where he led the team to the Stanley Cup final in his first season.

Tony Granato will be honoured on Feb. 24, while Luc Robitaille’s ceremony will take place on March 7. It is the only time this year that the Kings will wear the gold uniforms.
