Kings' Tanner Pearson: Off to blazing start

Pearson scored a goal, added an assist and went plus-3 in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win against the Stars.

Analysis:

After missing the first two games of the year to a suspension, Pearson's returned with a vengeance, ripping off three goals and an assist with a plus-4 rating in two contests. Just 24 years old and coming off his first full NHL season, Pearson's ripe for a breakout, although his plus-minus may not always be so shiny, considering Peter Budaj and Jeff Zatkoff are sharing the Kings' netminding duties with Jonathan Quick out long term.
