All About Scrivens
It's a good time to be Ben Scrivens.
The Canadian goaltender is currently defending the net for the LA Kings while regular first choice Jonathan Quick is out with a strained groin.
He's been the back-up man at the back for the Kings since he was picked up in June this year, in a deal which saw Jonathan Bernier head to the leafs.
This season so far he's played eight games, conceding seven goals. This gives him a .955% which is the best in the league after Petr Mrazek (who has 1.000% after one game). He also leads the way in shutouts. Three so far and on Monday was named the NHL's first star of the week.
Ben Scrivens was an unrestricted free agent when the Toronto Maple Leafs signed him up in 2010, where he played his hockey at the ECHL's Reading Royals and the Toronto Marlies. He played his first NHL game in November 2011.
Scrivens started his NHL career with a 4-1 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets and made 38 saves.
The LA Kings host the Tampa Bay Lightning tonight, as Quick is still questionable, it's likely Scrivens will be given the nod.
