The Kings went three rounds in this playoff season, and it was due in large part to the play of Slava Voynov.  Overshadowed by Drew Doughty, the Kings blueliner stepped up and was a leader for the Kings.  He tied for the club lead in scoring with 13 points and tied for 1st in goals with 6.  He also had 4 game winning goals and led the team with a +9 rating.
