Ben Scrivens must've thought he had it pretty good, getting traded away from the perpetual train wreck that are the Toronto Maple Leafs to the well-oiled locomotive that are the Los Angeles Kings. Sure, he'd back-up Jonathan Quick, but the games he did appear in he would have the benefit of a competent team and […]

Calgary's Mikael Backlund skated across the front of the net and drew Fleury out of position.
