The Los Angeles Kings continue to toil in the Western cellar, but with up and coming stars such as Mike Cammalleri, Alexander Frolov, Anze Kopitar and Patrick O’Sullivan – not to mention a full cupboard of impressive prospects - there is plenty of excitement on the horizon.
But that isn’t all Kings fans should be giddy about. The team has two former college players who have put up good numbers on the farm in Manchester and have had an impact in brief call-ups to the big club. Both look to be on the verge of becoming full-timers.
Teddy Purcell and Brian Boyle - one from the University of Maine, the latter from Boston College - are both late-bloomers and sit first and third respectively on the AHL’s Monarchs in scoring.
