Murray wants toughness

As previously posted, Kevin Westgarth was recalled from Manchester today, and he will be in the Kings’ lineup tomorrow against Minnesota. Westgarth played two games for the Kings during his previous recall, and in 55 games with Manchester this season, Westgarth has two goals, six assists 146 penalty minutes. With Raitis Ivanans on injured reserve with some type of head/neck injury, it’s pretty clear why Westgarth is here…

Question: Is Westgarth coming just for depth, or do you want to get him in the lineup?

MURRAY: “I want the grit. I want the toughness. I think you’ve got to have it. I believe in that, and with Raitis out of the lineup, I know we’re a different team. I know the opposition teams that we’re playing treat us differently. We need the physical presence.”

Question: So he’s in for tomorrow?

MURRAY: “Yes.”
