Alex Turcotte and Brandt Clarke get assigned to Ontario while Jordan Spence and Alex Laferriere get a shot at playing time going into Saturday night’s game
The Kings’ Alex Laferriere, left, and Colorado’s Logan O’Connor fight during the second period of their season opener Wednesday, Oct. 11, 2023, at Crypto.com Arena. From deep and skilled to relentless and tenacious, life won’t get much easier for the Kings as they pivot from a loss to the Colorado Avalanche into a showdown with the also-formidable Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday.
Among the Kings’ mix will be Jordan Spence, a right-shooting defenseman that will undoubtedly quarterback the second power-play unit as well as balance out right and left shots on the blue line. Arvidsson’s departure and the final game of winger Arthur Kaliyev’s suspension mean Alex Laferriere, who made his NHL debut in the Kings’ season opener and gave Coach Todd McLellan “zero hesitation” about deploying him, will be back in uniform.
As has been discussed widely, the Kings have achieved their turnaround from prospect-watcher to playoff-pusher through unconventional means, relying on practically every method of acquiring core talent apart from top draft selections. Holdovers from the glory years, undrafted free agents, signings from other clubs, trades and mid-round picks dominated the Kings’ roster on opening night, with one notable exception, No. 55, Quinton Byfield. He was 2020’s second overall pick.
