Los Angeles Kings goalie Jack Campbell grew up in Port Huron and played in the Little Caesars hockey program as a youngster.
The former Dallas Stars first-round draft pick in 2010 hasn’t gotten much of a chance in the NHL. Campbell has mainly bounced around the minors.
But on Sunday, Campbell got an emergency start with Jonathan Quick (groin) injured and starred against his hometown Red Wings.
Campbell made 36 saves and was a key reason the Kings defeated the Wings, 4-2, at the Staples Center.
Quick was hurt in Saturday’s practice, leading to Campbell, 26, getting the start.
