JONATHAN QUICK This season: 61 games, 35-22-3 record, 2.24 goals-against average, .918 save percentage. The good: Quick set franchise records in 2009-10, then had to spend the summer listening to league pundits — many, not just one or two — openly predict that he would lose his job to Jonathan Bernier sooner rather than later. [...]

ALEXEI PONIKAROVSKY This season: 61 games, 5 goals, 10 assists, 36 penalty minutes, 12:36 average ice time. The good: Ponikarovsky had stretches of games — including an eight-game run in March, in which he had six games — when he showed exactly why the Kings signed him to a $3-million contract last summer. Ponikarovsky, at [...]

DUSTIN PENNER This season (with Kings): 19 games, 2 goals, 4 assists, 2 penalty minutes, 17:01 average ice time. The good: The mere idea of Penner was almost as uplifting to the Kings as Penner himself. The Kings, at the Feb. 28 trade deadline, landed a top-level scorer, and players were enthused at the idea [...]

The IIHF World Championships in Slovakia moved to the qualification round today, and Canada beat the United States 4-3 in a shootout. Jack Johnson scored a second-period goal and played a team-high 28 minutes but was stopped by Canada goalie James Reimer in the shootout. Jonathan Bernier did not play for Canada. The United States [...]

SCOTT PARSE This season: 5 games, 1 goal, 3 assists, 0 penalty minutes, 13:47 average ice time. The good: Parse showed enough last season that the Kings decided he would get the first crack at a top-six winger position. The Kings missed in their attempt at landing high-profile free agent Ilya Kovalchuk, and their fallback [...]

JAKE MUZZIN This season: 11 games, 0 goals, 1 assist, 0 penalty minutes, 13:43 average ice time. The good: Considered something of a late-bloomer — Muzzin initially was a fifth-round draft pick, then had a serious injury and was signed by the Kings as a free agent — Muzzin impressed last summer, and in training [...]

OSCAR MOLLER This season: 13 games, 1 goal, 3 assists, 2 penalty minutes, 14:36 average ice time. The good: All of the positives that were in Moller’s game in the previous two seasons were apparent again. He’s a hard worker, a fearless skater and an offensive-minded player who has the mentality of taking the puck [...]

WILLIE MITCHELL This season: 57 games, 5 goals, 5 assists, 21 penalty minutes, 21:49 average ice time. The good: The Kings took something of a risk last summer when they signed Mitchell — who was coming off a long-term concussion — to a two-year contract. Mitchell largely validated the Kings’ trust. As their oldest defenseman [...]

Kings winger Justin Williams underwent surgery this week to repair his injured right shoulder, which he dislocated late in the regular season. The surgery was performed by Dr. Ronald Kvitne, and a team spokesman said that Williams is expected to be ready for the start of training camp.

ALEC MARTINEZ This season: 60 games, 5 goals, 11 assists, 18 penalty minutes, 15:17 average ice time. The good: It was a bit of a surprise, in late November, when the Kings assigned Jake Muzzin to the AHL and called up Alec Martinez, who hadn’t made a lot of noise in training camp and was [...]

ANDREI LOKTIONOV This season: 19 games, 4 goals, 3 assists, 2 penalty minutes, 14:46 average ice time. The good: Loktionov performed well enough in training camp, and showed enough much-needed offensive flair, that the Kings kept him around at the start of the season and gave him a handful of games. Loktionov showed potential at [...]

Twelve of the 16 teams in the IIHF World Championships have moved on to the “qualification round,” a second round of round-robin play that will determine the eight quarterfinal teams. The United States (with Jack Johnson), Slovakia (with Michal Handzus) and Canada (with Jonathan Bernier) all advanced, and all three teams will open the next [...]

TREVOR LEWIS This season: 72 games, 3 goals, 10 assists, 6 penalty minutes, 11:29 average ice time. The good: Before this season, Lewis had appeared in only 11 NHL games and, in all reality, had not showed much. This season, Lewis showed great improvement. The former first-round pick seemed to re-make himself into a forechecking, [...]

ANZE KOPITAR This season: 75 games, 25 goals, 48 assists, 20 penalty minutes, 22:11 average ice time. The good: Kopitar completed his transition from talented scorer to high-level two-way player. Kopitar can still score, yes, but he can also match up definitively against the top centers of the Western Conference. He can kill penalties and [...]

DWIGHT KING This season: 6 games, 0 goals, 0 assists, 2 penalty minutes, 11:43 average ice time. The good: When Scott Parse left the lineup in November, King was doing a solid job at the AHL level and got the call to join the Kings. In only his second NHL game, King found himself on [...]

JACK JOHNSON This season: 82 games, 5 goals, 37 assists, 44 penalty minutes, 23:12 average ice time. The good: For a major chunk of this season. Johnson was the Kings’ only reliable power-play performer. His 25 power-play assists led the Kings and were more than double than any other player, and his 28 power-play points [...]

PETER HARROLD This season: 19 games, 1 goal, 3 assists, 4 penalty minutes, 12:15 average ice time. The good: Harrold displayed the underrated ability to be a healthy scratch for long periods of time — sometimes weeks — and then step into game action and play an effective-but-limited role. Harrold consistently drew praise for his [...]

MICHAL HANDZUS This season: 82 games, 12 goals, 18 assists, 20 penalty minutes, 17:21 average ice time. The good: There’s nothing Handzus won’t do. A coach’s dream, Handzus is a tireless on-ice worker who will accept any role. Moved to left wing briefly, demoted to the fourth line briefly, Handzus accepted whatever came to him, [...]

MATT GREENE This season: 71 games, 2 goals, 9 assists, 70 penalty minutes, 16:59 average ice time. The good: As long as his ice time is properly managed, Greene is consistent and usually effective. He recognizes his role, stays within it and seems comfortable with it. The most active voice in the locker room, Greene [...]

DAVIS DREWISKE This season: 38 games, 0 goals, 5 assists, 19 penalty minutes, 14:21 average ice time. The good: Drewiske’s challenge, since he made the jump to the NHL, was to use his 6-foot-2, 218-pound frame more effectively, to play more of a physical game and less of a “contain” game in the defensive zone. [...]
