The Kings’ Alex Turcotte is looking strong as are other young players, while some Ducks veterans are banged up
The Kings handed the Ducks their first loss of the preseason Friday, staking themselves to a 3-1 first intermission lead in a game they ultimately won 4-3.
Turcotte looked spry and active in the back end of the Kings’ two-game set in Australia, and he picked up an assist against the Ducks on Friday. He centered the Kings’ top line flanked by Samuel Fagemo and Alex Laferriere, both of whom scored a goal in the game. They will be without two-time Stanley Cup champion Alex Killorn, 34, after he sustained a broken finger late in Wednesday’s game against the San Jose Sharks. The Ducks announced Saturday he will miss four to six weeks. The Ducks’ other veteran acquisition, defenseman Radko Gudas, 33, spent a good part of the offseason recovering from a lower-body injury. Longtime goalie John Gibson, 30, had his own injury scare Friday that forced him out of the game as a precautionary measure .
“I want to make it to the next level and it’s going to be tight situations all the time, so you’ve just got to learn to love it, and I really do,” Portillo said.September’s close and then the midpoint of camp are fast approaching, and cuts have already been made by both clubs.
