Manchester Monarchs News Release
MANCHESTER, NH - The Los Angeles Kings, the parent club of the Manchester Monarchs, have recalled defenseman Richard Petiot from the Monarchs and have placed center Derek Armstrong on the injured reserve list (retroactive to October 25) with a groin injury, Kings President of Hockey Operations/General Manager Dave Taylor announced today.
In addition, Kings left wing Luc Robitaille (fractured lower leg) and defenseman Mike Weaver (foot) will not travel with the Kings today to Dallas as the club leaves for a two-game road trip.
Petiot, 23, played in six games with the Monarchs this season and has three points (all assists) and eight penalty minutes. He attended the Kings training camp and was placed on the injured reserve list on October 4 (retroactive to September 27) due to a rib contusion. He was activated from the injured reserve list and assigned to Manchester on October 11.
The 6-foot-3, 200-pound Petiot has not played in a regular season NHL game. He is a native of Daysland, Alberta, and was the Kings' fourth-round (116th overall) selection in the 2001 NHL Entry Draft. He will wear No. 2.
Armstrong, 32, suffered the injury during a Kings practice and has missed the last two games. In 10 games with the Kings this season, the 6-foot, 190-pounder from Ottawa, Ontario, has recorded nine points (2-7=9) and four penalty minutes, with his seven assists tied for second on the club. In 219 career NHL games with the Kings, the New York Rangers, the Ottawa Senators and the New York Islanders, Armstrong has 101 points (37-64=101) and 123 penalty minutes.
The Monarchs face off against the Bridgeport Sound Tigers at the Arena at Harbor Yard on Friday, November 4 before returning home to host the Norfolk Admirals on Saturday, November 5. Ticket availability for Saturday's game is 300 seats in the Gold level and 3,000 seats in the Silver level.
