The Kings have reassigned goaltender Jeff Zatkoff to the Reign, who have a game tonight in Phoenix, and recalled G Danny Taylor from Reading to Manchester of the AHL. The move is likely designed to get Zatkoff more playing time; he had played just three games in a little less than a month in Manchester, where Jonathan Bernier is the starter.

That gives the Reign three goalies: Kellen Briggs, John Murray and Zatkoff. Ironically Murray, who started the last 12 games, could be the odd man out. After coming off IR in December, Briggs has been patiently testing a preseason groin injury in practice but hasn’t appeared in a game yet. Barring a setback, he was already expected to make his debut before the end of the month.

Zatkoff did pretty well in his first three AHL appearances, going 1-2 with a 2.31 goals-against average and .918 save percentage.

Update: Zatkoff is back and started tonight in Phoenix. Briggs has been placed on 3-day IR.
