Cal Petersen News
Petersen missed Wednesday's game after being added to the COVID-19 protocol list but was activated today, suggesting it was a false positive test. Troy Grosenick filled in admirably for Petersen vs. the Ducks, so it's unclear who will start Friday.
Petersen allowed one goal on 33 shots in the Kings win in Minnesota last Tuesday. It was Petersen's first win of the season, as he's opened 1-2-0 with a 2.38 GAA and .919 SV% in three appearances. Tonight he faces a Ducks team that is on a three-game losing streak and sit dead last in the NHL in goals per game (1.60).
Petersen allowed three goals on 29 shots in the Kings loss in St. Louis on Saturday. Petersen has lost each of his two starts this season while allowing six goals on 53 shots (.887 SV%) but it appears as if the Kings will trust him to take on a decent sized workload in the condensed season. Tonight he faces a Wild team that is 4-2-0, including two wins over the Kings to kick-off the season.
