Kings' Tanner Pearson: Suspension concludes

Pearson's four-game suspension has come to an end and he will be eligible to return against the Wild on Tuesday.

Analysis:

Pearson was hit with the suspension after delivering a head shot to Oilers defenseman Brandon Davidson in an Oct. 5 preseason game. The Kings winger gets to return so soon because the NHL's Department of Player Safety counted the final two preseason games towards the amount of time that Pearson would be at home in punishment mode. He's a clutch, bottom-six forward who provided seven game-winning tallies over the past two seasons.
