"That was pretty interesting," Campbell said. "Obviously there were some days in Texas where I wasn't enjoying it."
The team anointed him as the backup to Jonathan Quick when they traded Darcy Kuemper to the Arizona Coyotes on Wednesday. Campbell earned the job through an overhaul of his game and a re-build of his confidence following his trade to the Kings from the Dallas Stars in June 2016. Kings goalie coach Bill Ranford remembers he took Campbell out to eat and saw someone who needed to get to a better place mentally.
Both of Campbell's recalls this season happened to be for games against Dallas.
