After starting Jonathan Quick 71 times last season, the Los Angeles Kings made it a point to nab capable help on the open market after moving Martin Jones, signing Jhonas Enroth to a $1.25-million deal.
That, however, didn't aid their goaltending economy.
Enroth started only 13 times for Los Angeles (scoring just short of $100,000 per), taking fewer minutes than 61 other goaltenders and receiving just three starts from the middle of February through the postseason.
He voiced displeasure pertaining to his usage when he met with the media Sunday, though he didn't rule out a return.
"I really thought they were going to play me more," Enroth said, according to Lisa Dillman of the Los Angeles Times. "If you sign a guy for $1.2(5) million, you're not going to play him 13 games, in my opinion.
"You should play him 20 or 25. I thought I earned more games, obviously. I played pretty solid in the games I got, but I got a lot of breaks in between games too, so it's tough to get a groove going."
Enroth's right, at least with one thing. He allowed two goals or fewer in eight of 13 starts, and his save percentage was a solid .922, higher than the league's leading minutes eater, Quick.
