The L.A. Kings are taking on the Utah Hockey Club in their first preseason game, and they have multiple people trying to make a name for themselves.
One way to make a name for yourself is by dropping the gloves, and that is exactly what Jack Studnicka did.
During the first period of the game, there were multiple fights. First you saw Liam O'Brien fight Jeff Malott, and then two seconds later Jack Studnicka fought Travis Barron.

Jack Studnicka was originally drafted by the Boston Bruins 53rd overall during the second-round of the 2017 NHL Entry Draft.
Studnicka would go on to play 38 games in the NHL with the Boston Bruins where he would put up 1 goal, 6 assists for 7 points during his time in the NHL with the team. He would then go on to play two years with the Vancouver Canucks, before playing one year with the San Jose Sharks.
During the off-season Studnicka would sign a $775,000 one-year, two-way contract with the L.A.Kings, and is looking to make a name for himself. What better way to do so by dropping the gloves.
Studnicka isn't a game changing player, but he could be used as a solid depth player.
