Los Angeles called up
Calvin Petersen
from Ontario on Monday. Petersen practiced with the Kings (5-10-1) and is expected to dress for their game against the Toronto Maple Leafs at Staples Center on Tuesday (10:30 p.m. ET; FS-W, SNO, NHL.TV).
"Cal plays a little bit of a calm style in the net. He has some athletic ability also, and he had an incredible rookie season last year in Ontario," goaltending coach Bill Ranford said. "We're excited for the opportunity for him, but also disappointed at losing our one and two guy right now."
Selected by the Dallas Stars in the first round (No. 11) in the 2010 NHL Draft, Campbell was acquired by the Kings in a trade with the Stars on June 25, 2016. In 20 NHL games (17 starts), he is 7-8-2 with a 2.54 GAA, a .920 save percentage and one shutout.
Coach Willie Desjardins said Budaj and Petersen each will get playing time.
"I think we'll see both guys as we go forward," he said. "Peter has been around and he's battled hard with us, so he's certainly going to get a chance. With Cal coming in, I think it helps for him to get a chance to see the game a little bit and get comfortable. Both guys will see some time. They both waited for it, and they have a chance and it's a good chance."
Desjardins said the Kings won't push Quick's return.
"He is getting closer every day, for sure, but we can't rush that," he said. "When he's ready we'll put him back in, but we can't go, 'Oh, we really need him, so we got to bring him back quicker.' We can't do that. Once he gets medically cleared, we get him ready to play, then he'll be in."
