Los Angeles Kings and the Utah hockey club are expected to welcome a key defender when they leave their two -week vacation on Saturday night in Los Angeles.
Mothers Anderson, the third of the kings in average ice time at 10:50 pm, will return after missing the last four matches with a upper body injury suffered against the lightning in Tampa Bay on January 30th.
Sean Tires, who spent his first two NHL seasons with Los Angeles, will return to Utah after missing 52 matches with a shoulder injury. Durie was injured on October 14 against New Jersey Devils after an average of 21:27 icy time in the first four games.
“I think this is a great impetus. I think the player, but also the man, “said Utah coach Andre Turini for Durzy. “The energy, the guide he brings, the commitment he has. It’s a good idea to return it and obviously he’s a good player. “
Both teams are as close to 100 percent healthy as throughout the season.
Drew Douti returned on January 29 after dropping the first 47 games with a broken ankle, and the veteran’s defender then played for Canada of the 4 nations with a fight in the last two weeks.
After celebrating the victory against the United States in the Thursday night championship game, Doughty will be available to play on Saturday, Kings coach Jim Hiller told reporters on Friday.
“We get Dewey for a while, but now he has four more matches under his belt at a very high pace, so it will be really good for us and him,” Anderson said. “I think everyone is excited. He adds another layer to the team. “
Los Angeles striker Adrian Campe also comes out of three games in 4 countries with a team of Sweden and is expected to play on Saturday.
“I thought he had a great tournament and you could see his icy time, that the coaches were feeling the same way,” Hiller told Campe. “I think he really has established himself. I think they knew he was a good player, but I always look at the icy time, it’s important and in the eyes of the coach they realized that he was one of their players. He tuned really well by entering the Olympics next year as to his position in the team. “
With Durzi Back, Utah will have its three defenders for the first time this season.
Mikhail Sergachov and John Marino were acquired in the extra -season, but Marino missed the first three months of the season after undergoing surgery on the back.
However, Tourigny does not expect Durie to come in and play significant minutes immediately.
“He didn’t play for a long time, so we’ll keep the expectation as low as possible,” Tourgin said. “I just want to put my feet under me and be it.”
Utah is not expected to have Logan Kulie forward. Towers, second in the team with 43 points (15 goals, 28 assists) in 50 games, received a bottom injury against Pittsburgh Penguins on January 29 and is every day.
