<p>The <a href="https://www.dailyfaceoff.com/teams/los-angeles-kings/line-combinations">Los Angeles Kings</a> will be without some important forward depth for the immediate future as both Alex Turcotte and Tanner Jeannot are considered day-to-day with undisclosed injuries, Kings head coach Jim Hiller confirmed Thursday to <a href="https://x.com/DooleyLAK/status/1905323769100746935">team reporter Zach Dooley</a>.</p>
