Coach Todd McLellan wants his team to cut back on penalties, starting with Thursday’s game against the defending Stanley Cup champs in Denver
on Monday in their rearview mirror. It was a contest where it felt like the Kings might have been able to pull away sooner, instead finding themselves tied in the third period and in a one-goal game late.
Monday’s victory may have come at a cost, as defenseman Sean Durzi was evaluated for a head injury after receiving a thunderous hit from T.J. Oshie. Durzi did not return to the ice and on Wednesday the Kings recalled another right-shooting defenseman, Jordan Spence, from their American Hockey League affiliate. Spence has eight points in 27 games over the past two seasons with the Kings, and he has been one of the top scoring defensemen on a per-game basis over the past two seasons in the AHL.
“I thought he had an impact on the game,” McLellan said. “Big, fast, in on the forecheck, managed the game well. Really good on the bench, that’s something that’s important too.”
