The 24-year-old rookie defenseman has grabbed a job on the blue line in the most critical time of the season for the Kings. “He’s a very good student of the game,” Kings assistant coach John Stevens said. LaDue already had a familiar face in the Kings’ room in Derek Forbort, a fellow North Dakota alum. “It’s a really good group of guys here that don’t really treat you like a rookie,” Forbort said. Paul’s been a really good guy for that.”LaDue did have some nerves in his NHL debut Feb.7.
