Jack Campbell will be facing the team that drafted him for the first team tonight, here is what Campbell had to say about playing his former team “I always remember being drafted by Dallas and some of my friends and teammates, obviously it’s a great city. There’s some good fans here that supported me and still do. I appreciate that, but obviously I’ve been with L.A. now for quite a while and it definitely feels like home, so it’s fun to come in here with this group, and it will be fun to be back in that building".
