Tyler Toffoli scored his first NHL goal Monday.
He also picked up his first assist in a 4-0 win over Phoenix as he beat Mike Smith for the tally. "It was incredible," Toffoli said of the standing ovation he received. "I didn't expect that. I had goosebumps. It was a great feeling." Toffoli had 52 goals and 100 points in the OHL last season and the Kings are looking for him to be a top-six forward. He played alongside Jeff Carter and Mike Richards and that won't hurt his offensive potential.

Tyler Toffoli was a healthy scratch on Monday.
Toffoli was recalled Sunday as the Kings do not have a lot of depth at forward since Simon Gagne was sent packing back to Philadelphia. He had 28 goals and 48 points in 55 games in the AHL, not a bad start for a rookie. He is a scorer but is not worth picking up at this time as it is unlikely that he will get a spot as a top six forward.

The Los Angeles Kings have recalled Tyler Toffoli from Manchester of the AHL.
The Kings second round pick in the 2010 draft had 52 goals and 100 points for the Ottawa 67s of the OHL last season and he has not missed a step offensively as he had 28 goals and 48 points for the Kings AHL franchise in the AHL. Look for Toffoli to make his NHL debut this week. He will likely have a short stay in the NHL at this time, unless he is able to light it up.
