The Los Angeles chapter of the Professional Hockey Writers’ Association announced that goaltender Jack Campbell is their nominee for this year’s Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy.
Campbell, in his first full year in the NHL, ranks among the league’s top goalies in save percentage (.925, tied for sixth in the league) and goals against average (2.32, tied for fourth in the league). This, despite the Kings’ ability to score goals or win games — he has just eight wins in 22 starts, but gives the team a chance to win when he’s called upon.
