Garret Sparks Pushes Away 33 Shots In His Comeback Game
Los Angeles Kings goaltender Garret Sparks had a memorable comeback game on Sunday against Washington, producing 33 saves in a 3-2 victory. It was his first start since April 2019. This was the second game of a back-to-back set and the Kings were forced to go with Sparks after Calvin Petersen (COVID-19 protocols) was ruled out. The Kings will have another back-to-back next week, which should give Sparks another start. Jonathan Quick looks set to return to the crease for Thursday's matchup against Vegas.
Los Angeles Kings goalie Garret Sparks will mind the crease against Washington Sunday. Sparks last saw action in the 2019-20 season, suiting up one game for the Golden Knights. He's also played in contests in the 2015-16 and 2019-20 campaigns seeing action in 37 games in that period. The 28-year-old is faced with a challenging task having to square with a Capital team who won four of six games while sitting in first in the Metropolitan division.
