The LA Kings are in last place in the NHL. The team is evaluating their roster and that means Utah native Trevor Lewis may not be a King for much longer.

Hockey is back. Let's make way too early predictions.

The battle at goalie will be fun to watch.

For this Draper native, the dream is nearly a reality.

The Los Angeles Kings' Trevor Lewis and the Vancouver Canucks' Richard Bachman were featured in the King's 7-5 Salt Lake Shootout victory. Lewis and Bachman are both native Utahns.

I got a phone call from the LA Kings asking if I’m available to “EBUG” (emergency backup goalie) for the game. I replied, "Of course, I am."

For Salt Lake City-born NHL goalie Richard Bachman, last season had its ups and downs. As this NHL season begins with a preseason game in his hometown, Bachman is fighting for his place with the Canucks.

This game could have major impacts on a few local players' hopes for the season.
