Timely Goaltending
The LA Kings have had their share of issues with puck-handling and defense. That’s the bad news.
The good news is that both Jonathan Quick and Cal Petersen were on top of their respective games, even if the team didn’t necessarily come away with a victory.
In his two games this week, Jonathan Quick went 2-0-0 with a 2.50 goals-against average and a .913 save percentage.

Cal Petersen’s numbers weren’t quite as impressive, going 0-2-0 with a 3.00 GAA and an .886 save percentage. These numbers, however, are no fault of Petersen’s as he, like Quick, was on top of his game all week.
Both Quick and Petersen made timely saves. Quick certainly earned both of his victories, and while Petersen didn’t garner any victories this week, the losses could have been a lot worse had it not been for No. 40’s heroics.
