Jordan Weal Has A Clear Edge Over Nick Shore For LA Kings 3rd Line Center Spot

EL SEGUNDO, CA — Only four days remain before the Los Angeles Kings begin the 2015-16 regular season on Wednesday, and as they prepare for their final pre-season game against the Colorado Avalanche in the annual Frozen Fury game tonight in Las Vegas, a big question mark hangs over their heads…

…who will be their third and fourth-line centers?

It seems likely that rugged forward Andy Andreoff will be the fourth-line center, leaving the third-line center spot up for grabs between Nick Shore and Jordan Weal.

Last season, Shore was a late-season call-up, playing in 34 games, scoring a goal and contributing six assists for seven points, with ten penalty minutes, an even plus/minus rating, and a 53.
