Stoll will be a full participant in practice tomorrow and will return for Game 3 after his one-game suspension — “He’s right back in there,” Terry Murray said. “He’s a very important player for us, obviously, in all the special-teams play [...]

Stoll will be difficult for Kings to replace
Just what are the Kings missing with Jarret Stoll out of the lineup for Game 2 tonight? Well, Stoll played more than 22 minutes in Game 1, recorded two shots on goal and four hits and took 20 faceoffs (and won 13 of them). He was on the ice for more than half of the [...]
Mitchell understands need for punishment
Willie Mitchell has been a strong, intelligent voice in regard to issues involving concussions in the NHL, and Mitchell speaks from experience. He missed half of last season, while playing for Vancouver, because of a serious concussion, and spent approximately six months off the ice before he was able to start skating in the summer [...]
Murray, Stoll, Hextall react to suspension
Not surprisingly, the topic of the day was Jarret Stoll’s one-game suspension for his hit on San Jose’s Ian White in Game 1 last night. White left the game immediately after the hit and is not expected to play tomorrow night in Game 2. Stoll had a disciplinary hearing with NHL vice president Colin Campbell [...]
Report: One game suspension for Stoll
Jarret Stoll received a one-game suspension for his hit on San Jose’s Ian White. No word yet on whether anyone will be called up, or whether the Kings will go with Oscar Moller. The Kings just arrived at the practice rink and are scheduled to be on the ice at 1:45 p.m. I’ll have updates [...]
Report: Stoll faces discipline hearing
Nick Kypreos of SportsNet reported this morning that Kings center Jarret Stoll facing a supplemental-phone discipline hearing this morning with the league after his hit last night on San Jose’s Ian White. There’s been no timetable revealed. In an unrelated story a few months ago, here’s what Colin Campbell, NHL vice president of hockey operations, [...]
Reaction to Stoll hit on White
The big question for tomorrow might be whether Kings center Jarret Stoll faces any supplemental discipline for his first-period hit on San Jose’s Ian White. Stoll checked White into the end boards, and White’s head hit the glass and he crumbled to the ice. White got up, but looked very shaky skating to the bench [...]
Stoll postgame quotes
Jarret Stoll’s postgame thoughts… (on keeping composure after the early goal…) STOLL: “It was probably the worst situation possible, for a start. The building was going crazy. We had a lot of guys that were playing their first-ever playoff games, and the fire drill was on, for sure. We just tried to stay calm on [...]
Stoll postgame quotes
Jarret Stoll’s postgame thoughts… (on the shootout…) STOLL: “For Zues and Brownie, they’ve got great shots and they’ve got some different moves. Zeus made a great shot. I was thinking I was going to go there or try something else, but just great shots by everybody.” (on still playing for home-ice advantage…) STOLL: “Yeah, it’s huge [...]
Stoll postgame quotes
Jarret Stoll’s postgame thoughts… (on the game…) STOLL: “Both goalies made the saves when they had to. It was a tight-checking game. It was a hard game to play. We just found a way to do it again, we just found a way to get the points, and that’s all that matters.” (on keeping the game simple…) [...]
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 [...]
Stoll postgame quotes
Jarret Stoll’s postgame thoughts… (on the win…) STOLL: “It’s pretty big right now, especially with nine games left. They keep getting bigger and bigger. The points mean more and more, and we needed those two points, for sure. We didn’t want to give them one, or two, but it was what it was, and we [...]
Will offense come from center swap?
The Kings tweaked their lineup a bit today, with center Michal Handzus and Jarret Stoll changing lines. Handzus played a strong game last night against Anaheim — including a brilliant centering pass to Dustin Brown for the third-period, game-tying goal — and after practice today, Terry Murray was single-minded in explaining why he made the [...]
Stoll line getting a different look
For all the line-combination changes the Kings have made this season, the most consistent trio has been that of Ryan Smyth, Jarret Stoll and Justin Williams. Put together early in the season, they have been split up a couple times but had played 14 consecutive games together, until this week. The latest line changes have [...]
Stoll postgame quotes
Jarret Stoll’s postgame thoughts… (on his shootout goal…) STOLL: “That was kind of my first option. I knew he challenges. He comes out pretty hard and pretty fast. I played with him in Edmonton for one season, and he was 30-for-33. I’ve seen so many people deke him and deke him, and he’s so athletic [...]
Stoll drew ire of Pronger
As noted earlier, that well-known thug, Jarret Stoll, clearly drew the ire of the dainty Chris Pronger — or something like that — yesterday when he hit Pronger in the corner in the third period. Was it possible that Stoll could have received a boarding minor? Yes. Pronger’s reaction, though, was to return to his [...]
Undisputed: Jarret Stoll
Kings Vision has released the extended version of the “Undisputed: Jarret Stoll” feature that ran on Fox Sports West last night. This version clocks in at just over nine minutes and gives an in-depth look at Stoll. For some words to go with that video, you can also check out Stoll’s “My Story” feature, in [...]
Stoll postgame quotes
Jarret Stoll’s postgame thoughts… (on his diving goal…) STOLL: “I didn’t know how long the puck would be there for. I knew the puck was there somewhere, so I knew I had to dive and try to find it and get to it. We had a good shift there. We did some good things, got [...]
Kings postgame quotes
(Trying to push this through with the blog problems…going to lump the quotes together tonight, hoping we make it!) RYAN SMYTH (on the game…) SMYTH: “We thought we got off to a good start in the first period, but the second periods, we’ve had some troubles, for whatever reason it is. We’ve just got to [...]
Stoll postgame quotes
Jarret Stoll’s postgame thoughts… (on the game…) “I think we started off all right. Through the first period, we were pretty solid in our game plan, getting pucks deep, getting on our D, getting chances and scoring opportunities. … In the second, they got their legs and started playing their game a little bit. Just a [...]
