EL SEGUNDO, Calif. (AP) Los Angeles Kings forward Ian
Laperriere underwent surgery on his right knee Monday to remove
bone chips and scar tissue.
The team said he is expected to be out four-to-six weeks.
Laperriere has two goals and 10 assists in 46 games.
Laperriere joins forwards Eric Belanger, Ken Belanger, Kip
Brennan, Brad Chartrand and Adam Deadmarsh, defenseman Lubomir

The Kings recalled goaltender Cristobal Huet from the AHL's
Manchester Monarchs.
In 26 games with the Monarchs, Huet has a 14-7-4 record, a 2.38
goals-against average, a .918 save percentage and one shutout.
