Devils’ Alexei Ponikarovsky recalls brief time with LA Kings
Last season Alexei Ponikarovsky spent his only year in Los Angeles. Signed as a possible replacement for the departed Alexander Frolov, Poni proved not to be the answer GM Dean Lombardi was looking for at left wing. Coming off a five-year run where he averaged 20+ goals, the 6-foot-4 forward found the back of the net just five times while wearing a Kings uniform. He then signed a free agent deal with Carolina last summer, only to be traded to New Jersey – which worked out great, as he now finds himself in the Stanley Cup Finals.
First up below is our one-on-one with him at yesterday’s Media Day, followed by some footage of the general Q&A…
Additional questions (and watch as a completely bored Adam Larrson looks on)…
If you missed our Stanley Cup Finals preview show earlier today – with guests like Luc Robitaille, Kelly Hrudey, Marty McSorley, Bruce McNall, Dustin Brown, Bob Miller and Jim Fox – it’s streaming for free here, give it a listen.
