Moller fitting in

The Kings have the option to return 19-year-old winger Oscar Moller to his junior team up until his 10th game, but that seems increasingly unlikely. Moller has one assist and an even rating in four games and has been playing second-line minutes alongside Jarret Stoll and Patrick O'Sullivan. Moller, a second-round pick last year, was one of the big surprises of training camp, and so far he has looked poised beyond his years. Here's what Moller had to say today about his early experiences in the NHL...

-----

Question: How comfortable do you feel at the NHL level now?

MOLLER: ``I feel way more comfortable now, playing the games. The first two games, especially the first game, I was really nervous. The second game, I got a little more loose and I think I'm in it now. I feel comfortable out there, doing what I do.''

Question: What do you think changed in those couple games?

MOLLER: ``I was just gripping the stick too hard, you know? From being nervous. Probably that. I just feel more comfortable making plays.''

Question: They'll put you in a pretty big role, with big minutes. Does that help, to be put in a strong position?

MOLLER: ``Yeah. Obviously they want me to succeed and they're putting me with good players. I've got to be good too, to help them out too. I just have to start putting the puck in the net now.''

Question: Are you mentally checking off the games until you get to nine?

MOLLER: ``I just take one game at a time right now. It's up to them after nine games. I'm just going to do my job here. I just want to be here the whole year.''
