Will the last few games tip the scale for the likes of Ducks forward Pavol Regenda or Kings defenseman Brandt Clarke? Regenda’s three-point performance Tuesday night might have earned him a roster …
As always, the final training camp cuts are the most difficult ones.After the Ducks’ 5-4 win against the Kings on Tuesday night at Honda Center, the Kings have two more preseason games for players on the brink to make an impression. The Ducks have one more preseason game remaining – against the host Kings on Saturday afternoon at Crypto.com Arena – before the window of evaluation starts to close.
“He continues to show that there’s parts of the game he really excels at,” Kings coach Todd McLellan said. “Anaheim had a better lineup dressed tonight and he was challenged in certain areas. I don’t think the offensive part of his game – the creativity, the ability to find people blue line in, look-offs, deception – is a huge concern of ours. That comes to him pretty naturally.
As for Regenda, he continues to make a strong case to stay in Anaheim and is still in camp after several rounds of cuts.Hours later, he closed the gap with an impressive showing against the Kings with two assists and a goal-scorer’s goal through two periods. The fourth line of center Derek Grant, Max Jones, and Regenda accounted for the Ducks’ first four goals. Jones scored twice and Grant had a goal and added two assists.
“Through camp, I’ve been improving,” he said. “The last game was a little bit harder for me. But I’m going to try to get back on track and do my things. Small things, playing around the net, that’s how I score. I’ll try to improve every day. I’m just doing that because I want to play in the NHL and that’s my dream.”
“The positives he has is that he’s got some size. He’s got a nose around the net – no fear going there.”Kings goaltender Cal Petersen made his first start since suffering a lower-body injury, which forced him out of the second game of the preseason, at Vegas. He faced 32 shots on Tuesday night against the Ducks.
