Dustin Brown, who missed most of training camp with a hamstring injury, is starting to get the rust off his game.
The Kings started the season in Minnesota before traveling to Winnipeg for game 2. "I felt a lot better in Winnipeg than I did in Minnesota," Brown said. "I'm sure I'll feel a lot better getting a couple of days' rest. ... I'm sure I'll be right where I need to be, just getting in games. Practices are one thing, but it's the timing of games. For me I was happy we had back-to-back." Brown is also wearing a knee brace due to the injury suffered in last season's playoffs. Despite all the injuries, Brown should be healthy enough to get 25-30 goals and 60-plus points while averaging close to a penalty minute per game in 2013-14.
