The Kings take on struggling Vancouver on Friday and then play fellow Pacific Division contender Seattle on Saturday
“We went from shoddy, I think was the word I used in Calgary, to committed,” Kings coach Todd McLellan said. “It looked different, it felt different, we played way closer to our identity.”
“We should just show that game every single training camp, because that’s basically Kings hockey in a nutshell,” said the beneficiary of such sacrifice, goalie Cal Petersen. The Kings have an even-goal differential yet they are in hot pursuit of the Vegas Golden Knights for first place in the Pacific Division while holding off a suddenly competitive Seattle club that sits third.
Offensively, they’ve been led by centers Elias Pettersson and Bo Horvat, and also aided by international free agent Andrei Kuzmenko on the wing. Horvat and Kuzmenko are unrestricted free agents to be, and Horvat could become a particularly coveted piece on the trade market if no agreement is reached before this year’s deadline.Last season, Seattle appeared to hurl expectations for an expansion team back to earth.
