Daniel Taylor had his first taste of the NHL on March 29, when he played the final period in the Los Angeles Kings' 7-2 home loss to Dallas. With the Kings awash in young goaltenders, he knows getting another chance won't be easy.
But Taylor has already defied the odds by getting this far. As a seventh-round pick in the 2004 Entry Draft, the odds of Taylor ever getting to the NHL were a lot longer than the 5,365 miles between Plymouth, England, where he was born, and Los Angeles.
"I know the odds are against me, but I enjoy the challenge," he said.
