Player News

Colin Fraser returns to Kings with success | 02/20/2013 11:55 AM

News

Center Colin Fraser, restored to the Los Angeles lineup after being scratched the previous four games, led the way to a 3-1 victory over the Oilers in Edmonton on Tuesday night by anchoring his team's fourth line and aggressively going to the net for a goal that was a thing of beauty for the Kings.

Los Angeles Times

Impact

Fraser scored the fourth line's first goal and his first of the season. "Nobody wants to sit but we've got a deep team. We've got lots of depth," Fraser said. "We've been trying to find the right combo right now to get some wins. Obviously, it was nice to score when you've been sitting out four games."

Colin Fraser could get into lineup Sunday | 02/10/2013 10:39 AM

News

Colin Fraser could find himself in the lineup against the Red Wings on Sunday.

lakingsinsider.com

Impact

Fraser practiced alongside the Kings fourth line of Jarrett Stoll, Brad Richardson and Trevor Lewis in Saturday's practice and there's a chance he replaces one of Richardson or Lewis in the contest. With one point and just three shots on goal in nine games, Fraser is not a fantasy option.
