CBC

Devin Setoguchi's name is back on an NHL scoresheet.

The Los Angeles Kings forward pounced on a rebound and buried his first goal of the season Saturday night against the Calgary Flames with 14 seconds left in the first period.

It was his first as a member of the Kings and his first NHL goal since March 1, 2014, a span of 980 days.

He scored his second of the game with less than four minutes remaining in the second frame.

Los Angeles signed Setoguchi to a one-year deal prior to the start of this season.

In September, he opened up about his battles with alcoholism and depression. In the summer of 2015, he revealed that he checked into rehab that spring.

Setoguchi scored 31 goals for the San Jose Sharks in 2008-09. The Sharks drafted him eighth overall in 2005.
