Coach Knows Best

It was a return to the press box for both Peter Harrold and Randy Jones, two Sheet defensemen, who have been regular healthy scraches of late, just before the Kings lay a 6-2 beating on division-rivals, San Jose, on Monday night. Harrold, a Box 14 defenseman, and Jones, a Box 30 defenseman, do not seem to be fitting well in the team's plans on a regular basis, but both would have to clear waivers if they were to head down to the minors.

On the plus side for the Kings, forward Jarret Stoll returned to the line-up from his groin injury on Monday night. He picked up an assist in his return, which was likely well-received by his teammates.
