At the completion of last season, I wrote a column on team captain Davis Drewiske, who remained unsigned by a professional team until after the Badgers lost to North Dakota in the NCAA Tournament. But just days after the loss, the Los Angeles Kings came calling.
Drewiske then spent time with the Kings’ AHL affiliate, the Manchester Monarchs, before being called up to the big show earlier this week. He saw action in his first game last night against the Ottawa Senators–ironically enough, against his former teammate and Senators goaltender Brian Elliott.
Drewiske didn’t record a point but played 14 shifts in his first career NHL game. He and the Kings got the best of Elliott in a 1-0 win.
