EL SEGUNDO, CA — Although it is difficult to find a silver lining in a rather lopsided, 7-4 loss to the Anaheim Ducks in pre-season action at Honda Center on September 26, one player who stood out for the Los Angeles Kings was left wing prospect Austin Wagner, who scored on a breakaway goal at 17:09 of the first period and was also strong on the forecheck and in his own zone.
The breakaway goal was, in a word, breathtaking. Wagner started well behind the Kings blue line.
