It doesn’t seem like that long ago when Jarret Stoll donned the silver-and-black. When he did, he was the LA Kings‘ go-to guy when it came to winning faceoffs. Stoll, however, hasn’t played with the LA Kings since 2015. Suffice it to say, it’s time for a new faceoff wizard, if you will, to emerge.
In 10 games last season, Vilardi was 53.1 percent in the faceoff circle and is 51.3 thus far this season. Stoll averaged a percentage of 55.2 in the faceoff dot with the Kings, although he did play 506 games for the franchise.
