Great goalie stories seem to spring up in Montreal in October for the Kings. Quick outdueled Carey Price in a 4-0 shutout in Quick’s comeback season of 2017-18. Campbell followed suit Thursday with a 3-0 shutout, his first in the NHL.
It was only the fourth game of the season, but the Kings really needed a win and Campbell and teammates delivered against the Montreal Canadiens.
Campbell is the most popular player in the room. That was sort of assumed because of his humble, almost goofy personality. It’s also clear that teammates enjoy a good story as the rest of us and Campbell is just that: A former first-round draft pick whose career tumbled and turned around with the Kings.
