Even in the most depressing times of his career, Jack Campbell reserved a space in the back of his mind for nights like this.
When he put his game under a microscope in Texas and Idaho it was difficult to see much light, but Campbell never let his positivity flicker out.
“You always got to believe in yourself,” Campbell said. “Once I got traded here [to the Kings], everybody was amazing – the team, the guys, the coaches, the management – it really changed everything.”
Campbell was about as far he could be from the Idaho Steelheads of the ECHL on Thursday.
