Stoll keeps the letter

Jarret Stoll’s reign as alternate captain will continue tonight, as Terry Murray said Stoll will wear the “A” in place of Anze Kopitar for a second consecutive game. Terry Murray said he would consider the idea of shifting it to different players or leaving it with one, and chose the latter today…

MURRAY: “I think I’ll leave it with Stoll tonight. Superstitious, maybe. I don’t want to get into passing it around, to take the importance away from it. I think the players who wear the `A’ and the captaincy are really important players to your hockey club. They’re important leaders, and there’s significance to it. I’ll leave it with Stoll here today, and then decide in the next couple days what I’ll do with it, but I want to make it important, and leave it in the mindset of everyone in the locker room that it is very important.”
