Luc Robitaille is having quite a week. The former King -- now the club’s president of business operations -- was inducted into the hockey Hall of Fame on Monday, and on Thursday he will be a guest on ‘The Jay Leno Show.’

He’s scheduled to appear in a segment called ‘Extreme Johnny.’

The segment will feature the Leno show’s resident IT expert, Johnny Montoya, playing goal and attempting to stop shots from Robitaille, who bested NHL goaltenders 668 times over a 19-season career.

The show will air at 10 p.m. here.
