===Final stint with Los Angeles (2003–2006)===
Robitaille returned to Kings as a free agent for the [[2003–04 NHL season|2003–04 season]].<ref name = "DB" /> Although his scoring totals (22 goals and 29 assists) were below his previous levels as a King, he did lead the team in both goals and points, and the Kings stayed in playoff contention until a shocking 11-game losing streak to finish the season. On March 9, 2004, Robitaille scored the 650th goal of his professional career in a 3–2 victory over the [[Arizona Coyotes|Phoenix Coyotes]] at [[Staples Center]].<ref name = "0607Guidep130" /><ref name = "0607Guidep215">{{cite book | author=Los Angeles Kings Communications Department | title = 2006–07 Los Angeles Kings Media Guide  |page = 215}}</ref> He played his 1,000th game as a King a few days later, on March 13, 2004, in a 3–1 loss to the [[San Jose Sharks]] at [[HP Pavilion at San Jose]].<ref name = "0607Guidep130" /><ref name = "0607Guidep215" />

On January 19, 2006, during a game against the [[Atlanta Thrashers]], Robitaille scored a hat-trick, tying and passing [[Marcel Dionne]]'s then-franchise record of 550 goals.<ref name = "0708Guidep12">{{cite book | author = Los Angeles Kings Communications Department | title = 2007–08 Los Angeles Kings Media Guide | page = 12}}</ref> His record-breaking goal was met with several minutes of standing ovations and a video-congratulation reel on the scoreboard. On April 10, the Kings announced Robitaille's intention to retire at the conclusion of the [[2005–06 NHL season]]. Robitaille officially confirmed this the next day in a press conference held at the [[Toyota Sports Center]] in [[El Segundo, California|El Segundo]], [[California]].{{Citation needed|date=December 2007}} Robitaille's final goal and point was scored in typical Luc Robitaille fashion: one-timing a pass from [[Jeremy Roenick]] while at the centre of the right wing face-off circle past goaltender [[Curtis Joseph]] during a power play in a March 14, 2006, 6–2 loss to the Phoenix Coyotes.

Robitaille played his final NHL home game as a Los Angeles King against the [[Calgary Flames]] on April 15, 2006. He also wore the captain's "C" that normally belonged to defenceman [[Mattias Norström]]. Although he was held without a point in the game, he logged 18:37 of ice time and had four shots on goal.<ref name = "NHL041506">{{cite web | url = http://www2.nhl.com/nhl/app?service=page&page=Boxscore&gameNumber=1210&season=20052006&gameType=2 | title = Calgary Flames @ Los Angeles Kings, April 15, 2006 | access-date = 2007-12-30 | date = 2006-04-15 | work = NHL.com}} {{Dead link|date=September 2010|bot=H3llBot}}</ref> He was also the second shooter in the shootout, but his shot towards the upper-right corner of the net was stopped by the glove of goaltender [[Miikka Kiprusoff]], despite being given an open [[five hole]].<ref name = "NHL041506"/><ref name = "Amber">{{cite web | author = Amber, David | title = Facing Off: 'Lucky' Luc sees the cup returning West | publisher = ESPN | url = https://www.espn.com/nhl/columns/story?columnist=amber_david&id=2825153 | date = 2007-04-04 | access-date = 2007-05-16 | archive-date = 2007-08-20 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20070820170022/http://sports.espn.go.com/nhl/columns/story?columnist=amber_david&id=2825153 | url-status = live }}</ref> The Kings ultimately won the game 2–1 off of a shootout goal by [[Pavol Demitra]] and three shootout saves by Kings goaltender [[Jason LaBarbera]]. The Kings held a curtain call for Robitaille after the game, where he was given a standing ovation by the sell-out crowd of 18,118 fans in attendance. After chants of his name died down, he gave a short speech and did one final lap of the rink at Staples Center.

Robitaille finished his playing career on April 17, 2006, at the HP Pavilion in a game against the San Jose Sharks. The Kings won 4–0.<ref name = "NHL041706">{{cite web | url = http://www2.nhl.com/nhl/app?service=page&page=Boxscore&gameNumber=1220&season=20052006&gameType=2 | title = Los Angeles Kings @ San Jose Sharks, April 17, 2006 | access-date = 2007-12-30 | date = 2006-04-17 | work=NHL.com}} {{Dead link|date=September 2010|bot=H3llBot}}</ref> He received applause and chants of "Luuuc, Luuuc!" throughout the night by the 17,496 fans in attendance, as well as good wishes from many of the opposing players of the Sharks. After the game ended, the Kings players came out and gathered around him first, rather than the traditional congratulation of the goaltender. The Sharks players also came onto the ice to shake hands with Robitaille before they headed off into their locker room. {{Citation needed|date=October 2021}}
