Elliott: The Kings' newest defensive hero, Mikey Anderson, plays next to his hero
to form the Kings’ top defense duo, Anderson was more inclined to ask Doughty for an autograph than to ask for a pass.
“Ever since I’ve gotten here it’s felt like home,” he said. “It’s a place I fit in very well, or at least I feel I do. From a living standpoint it’s a place I can see myself staying for a while, starting a family and everything here. And the team’s in a good place. I like the way things are going as a group. I like the group of guys we’ve got here and I want to be a part of it.”The Kings traded for Joonas Korpisalo to stabilize their goaltending situation.
Coach Todd McLellan ranks Anderson among the NHL’s elite shutdown defenders and is impressed Anderson is trying to scale higher heights by enhancing his point production. Kings defenseman Mikey Anderson scores past Nashville Predators goaltender Kevin Lankinen on March 11. In their last nine games the Kings outscored their opponents 36-16, excluding the team goal awarded to Nashville and Vancouver in shootout losses to those teams. Their renewed focus on defense began after theyat Winnipeg on Feb. 28. McLellan followed that by showing players a video emphasizing the value of small details such as coverage after a faceoff and defensive zone positioning.
