He has put up a 12-15-3 career record in 38 career appearances with 30 career starts. He also has a 2.41 goals against average, .925 save percentage, and two shutouts. Campbell was originally drafted 11th overall by the Stars in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.<\/p>\n<p>Last season, Campbell played in 31 games with 25 starts for the Kings. He put up a 10-14-1 record with a 2.30 goals against average and .928 save percentage and two shutouts.<\/p>\n<h2>What This Means for the Future<\/h2>\n<p>The 27-year old netminder is coming off his first full season in the NHL as he played the back-up role. Looking at next season, Campbell will be the back-up to <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/q\/quickjo01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jonathan Quick<\/a><\/strong> in L.A. When Quick went down last year, Campbell was called up and despite putting up a losing record still managed to have a solid year in the Kings net. With Quick&#8217;s injuries starting to catch up to him, expect Campbell and Quick to split starts this coming season.\u00a0It will be interesting to see how the Kings decide to split up the starts over the course of the campaign.<\/p>\n<p>The move allows <strong>Cal Petersen<\/strong> to spent another few years in the AHL developing. He will be the starter once again for the Ontario Reign. Petersen was one of four goalies who saw time in the Kings net last season along with Quick, Campbell, and <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/b\/budajpe01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Peter Budaj<\/a><\/strong>. He would make four starts with the team going 5-4-1 with a 2.61 goals-against average,.924 save percentage and one shutout.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2019\/04\/gettyimages-1127793924-594x594.jpg\" alt=\"\">NEWARK, NEW JERSEY &#8211; FEBRUARY 05: Jack Campbell #36 of the Los Angeles Kings skates against the New Jersey Devils at the Prudential Center on February 05, 2019 in Newark, New Jersey.
