Edler, out since suffering a broken ankle on Dec. 12, helps the Kings avoid being swept in the four-game season series against San Jose with a 3-0 win.
LOS ANGELES — The Kings finally earned a win against the San Jose Sharks and had positive injury news for a change as well, welcoming back veteran defenseman Alex Edler as part of a 3-0 victory on Thursday night at Crypto.com Arena.
Still missing nine other players, Edler’s recovery was a significant boost. He broke his ankle on Dec. 12 during a nasty fall after his skate became entangled with the sideboards. Edler, 35, could have ended up missing the season, but instead came back well before the prognosis of a return at the end of March. He drew in for Christian Wolanin, registering 13:42 of ice time and two shots on net.
“Our game was a lot more assertive this time around. We didn’t really wait and feel our way into the game, we went at them,” Kopitar said. “It was nice to get on the board on the power play, too, and obviously not giving anything up on the PK.” Early in the period, defenseman Jordan Spence, who has assumed a large role instantaneously since his debut a week ago, turned the puck over during a Kings power play and Danault’s slash of forward Tomas Hertl prevented a clean breakaway.“Solid. Confident. Not a lot of garbage lying around for second chances,” Coach Todd McLellan said of Petersen’s game. “His concentration level was real good tonight.
