Campbell was pulled after allowing four goals on 11 shots in the Kings loss in Ottawa on Saturday. It wasn’t all Campbell’s fault, the Kings did not look ready to play in the matinee and the rookie netminder paid the price. Overall, Campbell has been really good for Los Angeles with Jonathan Quick out, posting a 2.30 GAA, .938 SV% and one shutout in four games.
