LOS ANGELES, CA - The Los Angeles Kings, the parent club of the Manchester Monarchs, have recalled forward Oscar Moller from the Monarchs, Kings President/General Manager Dean Lombardi announced today.
Moller, 20, has recorded five points (3-2=5), a plus-3 rating and four penalty minutes in five games with Manchester this season. His three goals are tied for first on the team (with Andrei Loktionov), while his five points are second on the club. He's also tied for second on the club with 12 shots on goal and his two game-winning goals are tied for the lead in the AHL.
The 5-foot-10, 186-pound native of Stockholm Sweden appeared in 40 games for the Kings last season - his rookie year - and recorded 15 points (7-8=15).
