Perry skating is certainly a good sign but he has not real update on his status. The reigning MVP only missed last night's game and was a game-time decision.
Sounds like Perry won't play tonight. After scoring 50 goals last year, he has 34 tallies and 55 points in 69 games.
Perry is definitely banged up after last night's game. With the Ducks in the middle of a playoff run, expect him to try his best to stay in. After scoring 50 goals last year, Perry has 34 tallies and 55 points in 69 games.
As expected, nothing to worry about with regards to the Kings' #1 centre. Kopitar currently leads the team in scoring with 14 goals and 42 points in 46 games.
Doesn't sound like something to worry about yet. Kopitar hasn't missed any playing time since taking a big hit from Brendan Morrow.
After taking a hard hit to the face from Brenden Morrow, Kopitar is OK. Expect him to play tonight in all situations.
Great news for everyone invested in the star center. His 40 points in 44 games lead all Kings players by a healthy margin. Expect him to continue centering the top line.
Losing Kopitar for a long amount of time would be a big blow to fantasy hockey owners and the Kings. The dreaded C word has yet to be used to describe his ailments which should be considered a good thing.
Danault scored six goals and 34 points in 33 games for the Victoriaville Tigres of the QMJHL.
Edler was previously deemed a game-time decision but it sounds like he will play after all. His 24 points are tied for fourth among defensemen in scoring. Expect him to play tonight.
Edler was injured at the hands of Sharks forward Jamie McGinn but is practicing with his normal partner Sami Salo. He scored three goals and 16 points through 23 games. Expect him to stay in the lineup.
If Edler can't play, look for Alexander Sulzer to take his place in the lineup. Expect a future update on his status.
Doughty gets a more defensive partner as coach Terry Murray did not like the two together. So far he has two goals and seven points but posted no points and a minus-2 rating last night.
Edler has registered three goals and 16 points over 19 games so far, playing every game for the Canucks. He likely plays tonight but Alexander Sulzer will draw in if he cannot.
The Kings finally put these two together at even strength. Doughty somewhat struggled in the early going but has solid numbers with two goals and seven points over 12 games.
Kuemper holds no fantasy hockey value while in the minors.
Kuemper is not expected to start any games giving him no fantasy hockey value.
Doughty is back tonight and will presumably play in all situations. Make sure you update your lineup accordingly.
We will fully confirm tomorrow as well but feel free to slot Doughty back into your lineup.
As expected, look for Doughty to sit out tonight. He likely gets back into the lineup at some point this weekend but stay tuned for a further update.
