Darryl Sutter needs more from Marian Gaborik.
The Los Angeles Kings forward was a healthy scratch for Sunday's game against the Boston Bruins.
Gaborik is a healthy scratch for the Kings today. That Darryl Sutter, always full of surprises...

Gaborik missed the first 21 games of the regular season with a foot injury he sustained while competing at the World Cup. Since his return, he's recorded four points in nine games, but has found the back of the net just once.
Injuries limited Gaborik to 54 games last season, in which he scored 12 goals, but he tallied 27 the year prior, despite missing 13 matches.
Gaborik, 34, has four years remaining on his contract, at a $4.88-million cap hit.
