A potential heir apparent to Drew Doughty, the 19-year-old Canadian has an assist in each of his first two preseason games and has been showcasing his natural talent.

Clarke recorded a primary assist in each of his first two preseason games. He set up Carl Grundstrom’s goal Sunday and Kevin Fiala’s first goal as a King on Monday while playing 45-plus minutes over the two games, including more than 10 on the power play. On Wednesday, he ran the second power-play unit, which produced the Kings’ lone goal in a 3-1 loss to the San Jose Sharks.
“The Kings have five right defensemen signed including Doughty, Durzi and Roy. That will make it tough but I’d never underestimate Brandt,” Seidel said. “I enjoy playing the left side, especially in the offensive zone. I like walking to the middle of the blue line with my stick already in the middle of the ice, which I think is a huge advantage,” Clarke said. “It comes with pros and cons, you’ve got to make plays on your backhand, which I’m comfortable with.”
