In his 26th season as a club broadcaster with the Los Angeles Kings, Daryl Evans is
part of the club’s broadcast team as an analyst with Play-By-Play Announcer Nick Nickson
and Jim Fox, with games simulcast on FanDuel Sports Network West and the ESPN LA app
/ ESPN Radio 710.
A member of the Kings as a player from 1981-85, Evans scored one of the franchise’s
most memorable goals in a game forever remembered as the “Miracle on Manchester.”
Facing the heavily-favored Edmonton Oilers in the best-of-five first round of the
1982 playoffs, the Kings pulled off two huge upsets – one, in winning the series three
games to two; and two, winning Game 3 of the series.
Down 5-0 in the third period of that game on April 10, 1982, the Kings steadily chipped
away at Edmonton’s lead and tied the game with five seconds left in regulation. At
2:35 of the extra period, Evans, then a rookie, sent a shot over Grant Fuhr’s shoulder
to seal an improbable end to an incredible game. Evans went on to lead the Kings in
playoff scoring with 13 points (5-8=13) in 1982.
Originally selected by the Kings in the ninth round (178th overall) of the 1980 NHL
Entry Draft, the left wing recorded 52 points (22-30=52) in 113 career NHL games with
the Kings, Washington Capitals, and Toronto Maple Leafs. Also, in 11 career playoff
games, Evans registered 13 points (all 13 points came with the Kings during the 1982
playoffs).
A native of Toronto, Daryl resides in Redondo Beach, and he has two children: DJ and
Danielle.
