3. Los Angeles Kings
There’s a reason they aren’t higher on our list. The rivalry isn’t really there anymore. It was at an absolute fever pitch in 2014. That year the Ducks and Kings had a Stadium Series game and a playoff series. Since then, the rivalry honestly hasn’t been the same. The Kings aren’t as good as they used to be and nobody likes watching a one-sided rivalry.
The Kings have an all-time record of 62-51-11-15. The Ducks currently lead by 5 wins. Back in the 2013-14 season, the Ducks faced the Kings at Dodger Stadium for a Stadium Series game. The Ducks shutout the Kings 3-0 in that game.
Later that same season, they faced off in the second round of the playoffs. The Kings would win in 7 games. Similar to the Sharks, the Kings have always been a tough divisional foe but we’ve only seen them in the playoffs once. As a result of Anaheim losing that series, the Kings went on to win their second Stanley Cup. Now, every time the Ducks have a road game at Staples Center, they have to remind us that two cups are better than one. I think the fan bases beef more than the actual teams.
