There were a couple things in the Union-Leader that I thought might be of interest to Kings fans. First, defenseman Jeff Likens, a college teammate of Joe Piskula, is performing well for the Monarchs and all but assured himself a spot on their playoff roster, according to coach Mark Morris.

The paper also made note of potential line pairings for the Monarchs, and a number of the names will be familiar to Kings fans:

Noah Clarke-Marty Murray-Tim Jackman
Lauri Tukonen-Patrick O’Sullivan-Trevor Lewis
Petr Kanko-Jeff Giuliano-Matt Ryan
John Zeiler-Gabe Gauthier-Matt Moulson

Sounds like a pretty good group, as far as the AHL is concerned.

Also, Jason LaBarbera apparently will be able to play in the playoffs
