It took six tries, but it seems the Kings might finally have stumbled over a reliable goaltender.
They went through Jonathan Bernier, who was strong but too young; Jason LaBarbera, who was solid but too fragile; and three others who did little to show that they could be trusted as No. 1 goalies.
Then along came Erik Ersberg, the slightly built 26-year-old rookie from Sweden who has performed quite well in his first six NHL starts and given a much-needed dose of optimism to this last-place team.
Ersberg has won only two of six starts, but can't shoulder much blame. He has allowed only 12 goals and has allowed more than two goals in a game just twice. The Kings totaled five goals in his four losses.
"Things are going pretty well for me in the games that I've played. I really can't complain," Ersberg said.
