Oscar Moller

Yes, Oscar Moller.

In search of more scoring from the top two lines, the Kings on Sunday called up forward Oscar Moller from Manchester, and Moller will presumably be ready when the Kings host Calgary on Monday night.

This will be Moller's second stint with the Kings this season. He got called up in mid-October, when a severe case of flu ran through the team during a road trip, and played sparingly in two games.

That could change now. Entering Sunday, Moller led the Monarchs in goals (eight) and points (18) in 25 games, and given the Kings' recent lack of scoring up front, Moller might get a chance to contribute.

This pleases me. Yeah it sucks not having one of our top scorers in the line-up, but I'm happy we'll be seeing Moller with another chance.

But the bottom line is, our top guys need to get back into the groove of scoring. Anze Kopitar hasn't scored in what, 12 games? That is the longest goal scoring drought in Kopi's NHL career.

Even more surprising, Brad Richardson has scored a goal in the last three games. He now has four points this season, all in the last three games. I don't know what is happening here with him, but he needs to keep it up. It is kind of good to know that when our top line is having trouble finding the back of the net, secondary scoring can sort of back them up.

I'm gonna have a few more updates tonight. I have been neglecting this blog, and I need to get back on it!
