A week has passed, and it’s time for another LA Kings prospect update. This week’s update was highlighted by the Kings’ first-round pick this past summer — Liam Greentree . It was a week to remember for Greentree. Greentree started the week with a four-point game and a Gordie Howe hat trick (1 G, 3 A) on New Year’s Eve against the Flint Firebirds. His fight came against fellow Kings prospect Matthew Mania.

Erik Portillo’s 40-save performance yesterday was a season-high (42 saves is his career high as a pro). Plenty of his saves were quality grade-A looks from Henderson.
After his NHL debut and being sent down, Portillo has posted a .919 sv% (159/173) in six games for the Reign.… https://t.co/kTuGXclzUf
