At a prospect camp during the summer of 2008, he took a big step when he was asked to address a group of young prospects. He made everyone feel comfortable because he shared his feelings and experiences of when he was one of the new guys on the block -- how he was shy and rarely felt comfortable taking a leadership position with the team because he was not a polished communicator and usually got extremely...
Dustin Brown scores the only goal for L.A. Francis Bouillon, Cody Franson and Joel Ward scored to lead the Nashville Predators to a 3-1 victory over the Kings on Saturday.

from Craig Custance of the Sporting News, Having one of the game’s best young talents certainly helps. Kopitar has clicked with new linemate Ryan Smyth, who is willing to do the dirty work required to score goals. Kings captain Dustin Brown sees a bit of Smyth’s influence rubbing off on Kopitar, who now is winning those battles in the corners. He’s also competing harder than ever....
Jared Stoll scored his first two goals of the season and Dustin Brown also scored twice in the Los Angeles Kings' 5-3 victory over the Phoenix Coyotes on Saturday night.
The veteran winger will now flank Michal Handzus and Dustin Brown. 'Good practice. Ready to get going,' says Coach Terry Murray. After taking the surprising step Monday of scratching a healthy Alexander Frolov from the Kings' game at Dallas, Kings Coach Terry Murray said he left "an opening in the door" for Frolov to return.

The Kings hit two posts in the first period. Then Jonathan Ericsson scored 3:34 into the second period when he caught the puck after Justin Abdelkader won the faceoff and fired a shot that beat Jonathan...
from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail, • Funny how $7.14-million per year doesn’t buy what it once did. After signing Brian Campbell to that contract two summers ago, largely for his abilities on the power play, the Blackhawks are now using Cam Barker, plus Patrick Sharp – a forward – as the point men on their top unit with the man advantage … Think Atlanta is glad...

Hinote played in 3 preseason games and registered a goal in a 6-2 loss to Vancouver at HP Pavilion. Unfortunately he took a cross-checking penalty with 19.4 seconds left in...
