Edmundson has played just two games since March 24th due to injury and will take a seat in the press box as he rests for game 82 of the regular season on Wednesday. The 30-year-old was acquired by Toronto at the trade deadline and will end his regular season without a point in nine games with the Maple Leafs but with five SOG and a +3 plus/minus.
Turcotte has not played since March 19th due to the upper-body injury. Turcotte has four points (1G / 3A) in 20 games this season. Akil Thomas was reassigned to Ontario (AHL) in order to make room for Turcotte on the NHL roster.
Thomas impressed in his short stint with the Kings, scoring three goals and adding one assist across seven games while playing less than nine minutes a night. His demotion makes way for the return of Alex Turcotte (upper-body).
Moverare played just 8:31 in Saturday's game against the Ducks and will be the odd-man out on Monday. His absence makes way for the return of Anze Kopitar (undisclosed).
Kopitar did not play on Saturday but will return on Monday against the Minnesota Wild. Kopitar has four points (0G / 2A) in his last three games and 70 points (26G / 44A) in 79 games this season.
Kopitar did not play on Saturday and could miss a second straight game on Monday against the Minnesota Wild. Kopitar has four points (0G / 2A) in his last three games and 70 points (26G / 44A) in 79 games this season. On Saturday, Pierre-Luc Dubois centred the top line with Quinton Byfield and Adrian Kempe.
Edmundson has not played since March 24th due to an undisclosed ailment but will draw back into the lineup on Thursday. In seven games with the Maple Leafs, Edmundson has zero points, five shots, and 14 hits.
Turcotte has not played since March 19th and will partake in a conditioning stint with the Ontario Reign (AHL). The 23-year-old Turcotte has four points (1G / 3A) in 20 games this season.
Jeannot has not played the last two games due to an upper-body injury but should make his return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Before his injury, Jeannot was limited to a single assist in his last eight games.
Kuemper left practice early on Wednesday due to an undisclosed injury but appears good to go as he is scheduled to start on Friday vs. Carolina. The 33-year-old Stanley Cup-winning veteran has struggled in his second season in Washington, with his ugly 13-13-3 record, 3.32 GAA and .888 SV%. He'll be looking to snap Washington's four-game losing streak as he heads to Carolina on Friday, who has won eight of their last 10 games and are eighth in the NHL in goals per game (3.34).
Thomas will draw into the lineup for his second career game on Thursday as the Kings opt to get some fresh legs into their lineup for the tail-end of their back-to-back. Arthur Kaliyev will sit in his place.
