The 2007-08 Los Angeles Kings season began with the team playing a home-and-home series with the defending Stanley Cup champion Anaheim Ducks at the O2 Arena in London, England. It is the Kings' 40th season in the National Hockey League, although they celebrated their 40th anniversary as a franchise during the 2006-07 campaign. The Kings also changed their goal horn from a foghorn to a train horn.
