Kings' Peter Budaj: Picks up win in first start of season
Budaj stopped 17 of 20 shots in a 4-3 overtime win over Dallas on Thursday.
Analysis:
Budaj wasn't great, but he didn't face a lot of rubber in his first start of the season and figures to get a chance to grab the reins as the Kings look for some consistency from their netminders following the injury to Jonathan Quick. Thursday's win was the first of the year for LA, so expect Budaj to get the next start as the Kings look to gain some momentum after a sluggish start.
