After honoring former captain Dustin Brown with a statue and jersey retirement ceremony, the Kings must focus on Pittsburgh on Saturday at Crypto.com Arena
A hopeful future and the glorious past will intertwine Saturday when the Kings host the Pittsburgh Penguins following a ceremony that will see a new banner – BROWN 23 – adorn the rafters at Crypto.com Arena: .
Once the puck does drop, there’ll be no shortage of connections to Brown and the peak of his career in the early- to mid-2010s. Anze Kopitar, a “brother” to Brown, will captain the Kings. Defenseman Drew Doughty, who roomed with Brown as a rookie, will sport an “A” on his chest. Jonathan Quick, an integral part of both titles, will be with the team as well.
“From that 12- to 15-year range, did it all for us. He scored big goals, he made big hits and he’d fight when he had to,” Carter told. “He just kind of played every position and every role and did it to a tee for us.”
