LA Kings Prospect Update – Week 1/19

Another week has passed, and it’s time for another LA Kings‘ weekly prospect update. Goaltender Carter George highlighted this week’s prospect update with another outstanding week in the OHL.

If you didn’t see earlier in the month, George was acquired by the Soo Greyhounds from the Owen Sound Attack days before the OHL trade deadline. Since joining the Greyhounds, George has put up phenomenal numbers and won all five of his starts.

This week, George made two starts and got his second shutout with the Greyhounds. His shutout wasn’t the story of the week. In Soo’s victory over the London Knights, George scored a goalie goal, the second of his OHL career, making OHL history.

With George excelling in the OHL, Hampton Slukynsky flourishing in the NCAA, and Erik Portillo having a bounce-back season in the AHL, the excitement level between the pipes for the Kings in the pipeline couldn’t be any higher. And they also have Petteri Rimpinen in the mix, too.
