It had been widely presumed that Patrick O’Sullivan would reclaim his spot on the Kings’ top line alongside Dustin Brown and Anze Kopitar, but in the mind of coach Terry Murray, there’s no need to make a change right now. Murray has been impressed with the play of winger Matt Moulson, who scored an outstanding one-time goal in Tuesday’s victory over the Ducks. Moulson, 25, had five goals and four assists in 22 games last season. He’s doing pretty well for a guy who was drafted in the ninth round by Pittsburgh in 2003…especially considering that there is no ninth round anymore. Here’s what Murray said today about Moulson’s play…

Question: What have you seen from Matt Moulson so far?

MURRAY: “Matt has impressed me. He was talked about in the summertime, during our meetings obviously, and I did end up watching several — more than several — games from Manchester. He was on a line with Boyle and Purcell. Quite honestly, I was watching Boyle and Purcell, and Moulson was doing real good things as far as complementing the line and being creative, scoring goals and playing the game, what I thought was the right way. He was getting to the net. So I was really looking forward to seeing him in training camp and he has played very well. He’s smart, he works hard, he’s very opportunistic and plays with good players. He’s able to, because of his skating ability, get to the right places at the right time. I think we saw that on the goal he scored the other night. Brownie made a tremendous effort on that goal, to get down the ice and grab a loose puck and make the play. But that’s a pretty special player, to score glove-side on that kind of a look. He’s been very impressive.”

Question: The question seemed to be if he could keep up with those guys. Now it’s whether they can keep up with him…

MURRAY: “Yeah, I agree. That was one of the things that I was looking at, as we went through the training camp. Was this something that we could work with and develop some chemistry, and was speed going to be able to be maintained? So far, so good.”
