Kings Awards are here! (for games 11-20)

The thing we all need to bear in mind is that the Kings did relatively poorly in that span [3W-5L-2OTL], while certainly some individual measures could be taken,

*** Winner ***
Alexander FROLOV, LW - he was virtually everywhere, to be honest. Frolov plays a lot of minutes in all three on-ice situations, which is especially strange given his rather fragile body-frame. He picked his scoring pace up very much in the latter part of the period in question, scoring seven goals (twice two per night) and getting five assists since the 4-1 win over the Rangers. About the only place the Russian LW needs a boost is the PP scoring.

** Runner-up **
Dustin BROWN, LW/RW - the wild beast has awoken. Dustin took a longer time to unwind for his physical presence to be felt, but boy was it good to wait! I don't know if the NHL keeps a stat for the number of hits, but Brown might as well lead this category hands down. Fearless fighter with a bit of scoring touch as well [two goals, three assists in the period].

*Third place*
Anze KOPITAR, C - mainly for his finess, even though his linemates not always caught up with him. A creative centerman who keeps scoring points to keep him in the rookie scoring chase [currently first, in front of Malkin, Carle, Stastny and Penner].

Honorable mentions: I should mention Lubo Visnovsky for overall puck movement and getting the play out of the defensive zone. Another mention for Rob Blake only to point him in the right direction [more production from non-PP situations].
