Kings Awards for games 21-30

This period has been a real up-and-down one for the Kings as the team went combined 4-6.

And here they are, the top three Kings for the games 21-30!

*** Winner ***
Alexander FROLOV, LW - winner, hands down. Amazing scoring outburst that kept the Kings in the games for most, if not, the whole ten game period. Suffice it to say that while Frolov continued to be on the ice in all three situations (ES, PP, PK) and log almost twenty minutes per night on average, he posted nine goals and four assists. He's currently on pace for 77 points (45+32).

** Runner-up **
Derek ARMSTRONG, C - back from the clavicle injury, Armstrong helped build strong physical presence at center when Kopitar started to tail off a bit. He was active in the corners, going to the front of the net and got himself three goals and seven assists in this span. An unheralded missing piece
of the team coming back strong.

*Third place*
Rob Blake, D - a little more controversial choice, but I wanted to make notice of our offensive-minded defensemen. Blake has been most consistent of the group lately. He has also picked up his scoring, which was almost non-existent in the beginning of the season [two goals and five assists during the last 10 games].


Honorable mentions:
Mathieu Garon for the three games in the row just preceding his injury and Michael Cammalleri - the most dangerous forward around the opponent's net. Also Craig Conroy - for regaining his scoring touch recently.
