A Notre Dame alum, Petersen saw his football team’s aspirations for a national championship crushed in a loss to Clemson on Saturday. And it appears that his first call-up to the Kings is nearing an end.
The latter is more significant, of course, but Petersen understood that he might be returned to the minors with Jack Campbell expected to join the Kings on a back-to-back trip to Colorado and Las Vegas.
Petersen stayed on the ice and chatted with goalie coach Bill Ranford after practice Sunday, and later reflected on his first 11 games in which he showed glimpses of why he’s perceived as the franchise’s future goalie.
