While not the “young, dynamic, left-shot defenseman” the LA Kings are looking for, Alec Martinez would certainly help shore up the team’s blueline.

Alec Martinez will forever hold a spot in the hearts of LA Kings fans.

The 33-year-old defenseman scored two of the biggest goals in franchise history during the 2014 playoffs. First, it was the game-winner in double overtime of Game 7 against the Chicago Blackhawks that sent the Kings to the Stanley Cup Final. Then of course there was his “jazz hands” celebration after scoring the Cup-clinching goal in double overtime of Game 5 against the New York Rangers.
