Kings' Laperriere undergoes surgery
El Segundo, CA (Sports Network) - Los Angeles Kings forward Ian Laperriere underwent surgery on his right knee Monday to remove bone chips and scar tissue and is expected to miss four-to-six weeks.

The 6-1, 201-pound Laperriere has two goals, 10 assists and 87 penalty minutes in 46 games this season

In 605 career NHL games with the Kings, New York Rangers and St. Louis Blues, Laperriere has 175 points and 1,149 penalty minutes. His 924 penalty minutes as a King rank fifth on the franchise’s all-time list.

In addition, the Kings have placed Laperriere on the injured reserve list and have recalled goaltender Cristobal Huet from the Manchester Monarchs of the American Hockey League.

Huet, 27, has not played in a game for the Kings this season. In 26 games with the Monarchs this season, he has a 14-7-4 record, a 2.38 goals-against- average, a .918 save percentage and one shutout.
