from Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal,
Davidson’s loss will be far more critical if he’s out any length of time, though. He was hit in the open ice in the second period when Pearson, who has no rep as a head-hunter, caught him with his shoulder. “Davy is still being assessed … we’ll call it day to day until we get home,” said McLellan.
“I thought it was dirty and it was the right call and it’s unfortunate,” said McLellan, who only had five defencemen — Darnell Nurse, Eric Gryba, Matt Benning, Mark Fraser and Jordan Oesterle — for the last half of the game, with the Kings getting 17 third-period shots on Laurent Brossoit.
