The Kings have recalled Cal Petersen from Ontario (AHL).

Petersen, 24, was a fifth round pick of the Sabres (No.129 overall) in 2013 and it appears he will make his NHL debut in the near future. Both Jonathan Quick and Jack Campbell are out with a torn meniscus, so Petersen joins Peter Budaj as the Kings goaltending duo. Petersen was a standout at the University of Notre Dame but has struggled in the AHL this season, going 2-3-1 with a 4.29 GAA and .881 SV% in 10 games.
