There was no news on Wayne Simmonds, at least in the injury department. He wasn’t on the ice at the end of the third period, but Terry Murray heaped a ton of praise on Simmonds for scoring the goal to make it 2-1. Murray said that goal turned the game around for the Kings.
I’ll post more from the locker room tomorrow morning, but in the meantime, here’s a couple of thoughts from Terry Murray on the Kings’ first victory this season.

“I think what turned the game around for us was being able to respond with our goal. Right after they scored their second goal about 30 seconds later coming down [Wayne] Simmonds gets his first goal in the NHL. That was huge.”

“It’s nice to see us score some goals. That’s where confidence comes from and that’s where you can build a team a lot faster, when you have that kind of result.”
