Kings call up Klemm
Jon Klemm called up from Manchester. Hmmm, this doesn't help with their forward injuries because he's a defenseman. It's not bringing one of the team's bright prospects up since he's 37. Perhaps it's to add some toughness to the team? Klemm was one of Dean's offseason acquisitions. He was on the 96 and 2001 Stanley Cup-winning Avalanche teams.

What's up with Nagy? One shift after the PS and only 5:33 TOI.
Injured or Chateau Bow Wow?
Klemm played one the wing alot in pre-season, if I remember correctly...
Kleem has played forward in the NHL before, and he was at forward for us during training camp and the pre-season games. He could play wing on the forth line tonight.
Aww, this would have been a perfect opportunity for Brian Boyle to come to town and wow the LA faithful. Maybe next time.
According to letsgokings.com, Klemm's been called up to help with the PK.

Look for him to start alongside Kopitar and Brown after the Osullivan-Kopitar-Brown line dominates 5 games in a row then cools off for one. Leading the kings into yet another 5 game losing streak.
no jk but at the rate crawford was going and how long it took him to put that line together I would not have been surprised at all.
Send Nagy to reading he proved just how me-first he is with that PS, only time in the entire game he actually skated and got body position on a defenseman.
Hey Matt,
Does this mean they have to pay Klemm his NHL contract. Or half NHL & half AHL.
Or what.
