With three goals in Thursday's victory over St. Louis, Alexander Frolov has 54 points in 52 games this season. He is trying to become the first King since Ziggy Palffy in 2002-03 to average more than a point a game in a minimum of 60 games played.
"If you're a scorer, you always have to try to score as much as you can," Frolov said. "You try to improve every year. You try to be better than you were before."
The fifth-year forward had a career-best 71 points in 82 games last season.
Frolov missed 11 games in November and December with a groin injury. He says the groin still bothers him and won't fully heal until after the season, but it hasn't noticeably affected his play. He has 15 points in the past nine games.
