Kings Re-Sign Ersberg & O'Donnell

In two moves that went under the radar on deadline day, the Los Angeles Kings re-signed goaltender Erik Ersberg to two-year contract and defenseman Sean O'Donnell to a one-year contract. Terms of their contracts were not disclosed. Both players would have been unrestricted free agents on July 1. O'Donnell was acquired by the Kings from the Anaheim Ducks prior to the season for a conditional draft pick in the 2009 Entry Draft. This is his second stint with the Kings. In 24 games so far this season, Ersberg has a record of 8-9-4 with a GAA of 2.49 and a .901 save percentage. This is his second season in the NHL. In 63 games this season, O'Donnell has 10 assists and 56 penalty minutes. Both signings are good depth moves for the Kings. Ersberg has had good stats this season despite his record and has helped keep the Kings in the playoff chase, while O'Donnell brings the Kings lots of toughness and veteran depth on their young blueline.
