Power play and young players could be pivotal as the Kings try to continue last season’s unexpected improvement and survive a likely tough playoff race.
LOS ANGELES — The Kings enter this season, set to begin Tuesday, with burgeoning promise but also with more than their share of uncertainties.
The braintrust of the Kings was also slightly reconfigured. Marco Sturm, who ran the power play last season, will guide the Kings’ top minor-league affiliate this year. Jim Hiller worked under Stanley Cup winner Mike Babcock in two different cities and under another Cup champion, Barry Trotz, in New York most recently. Hiller has been tasked with finally making the Kings more opportunistic with the extra man.
“There’s always a place for progression, no place for regression,” Danault said. “I don’t want to think that way, being scared of regression. I just want to get better as a team and as a player, and I’ll do whatever I can to win a Cup here.”Regardless of how many prospects pan out or players step forward, the Kings always seemed to be linked to adding a defenseman of late, one with skill, toughness or both.
