LOS ANGELES — Apparently, young center Gabe Vilardi has played his way back into the good graces of the Los Angeles Kings coaching staff.
Head coach Todd McLellan indicated that Vilardi will return to the number two center position tonight (March 29), when the Kings skate against the Vegas Golden Knights in Las Vegas.
“That [number] two center is really important,” he said. “Gabe was doing a good job. We moved him to wing for a short period, and he’s back there now, so hopefully, he can provide us the stability [they need from that position].
