Anderson has been sidelined since February 22nd but will return to his usual spot on the Kings' top pair on Monday night. Arthur Kaliyev will sit as the Kings are opting to dress seven defensemen.
Gawdin made his season debut on Thursday but will report back to San Diego on Friday. His demotion makes remove for the arrival of the recently acquired Ben Meyers.
Bolduc has not played since January 27th and was reassigned to Bridgeport (AHL) for conditioning two weeks ago. Bolduc has one goal and two assists in 33 games this season.
Kuemper was not at the morning skate on Thursday due to an illness but could still be an option between the pipes in the evening against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Kuemper last played on February 26th and saved 18 of 21 shots (.857 SV%) in a 6-3 win over the Ottawa Senators.
Edmundson will join the Maple Leafs, likely as a bottom-pairing depth defenseman, as they attempt to bolster their blueline ahead of Friday's trade deadline. The 30-year-old Edmundson had six points (1G / 5A), 58 hits, and 49 blocks in 44 games with the Washington Capitals this season.
The timing is a bit bizarre considering Moverare was just placed on waivers earlier today. Moverare has played 10 games with the Kings this season, being held off the scoresheet, but has spent most of the 2023-24 Campaign with the Ontario Reign (AHL), posting 18 points (2G / 16A) in 34 contests.
On Wednesday, the Kings placed Moverare and Jaret Anderson-Dolan on waivers. Moverare has played 10 games with the Kings this season, being held off the scoresheet, but has spent most of the 2023-24 Campaign with the Ontario Reign (AHL), posting 18 points (2G / 16A) in 34 contests.
With Adam Henrique and Sam Carrick traded to the Edmonton Oilers, the Ducks have recalled Gawdin and Pavol Regenda from the San Diego Gulls of the AHL. Gawdin has 40 points (17G / 23A) in 50 games with San Diego.
Forsberg will make the start on Friday against the Coyotes after all, as Joonas Korpisalo was a late scratch for the game due to illness. Forsberg got shelled his last time out, allowing four goals on 10 shots before being pulled in favour of Korpisalo in a 6-3 loss to the Capitals on Monday. Luckily for Forsberg, the Senators enter action on Friday as -186 home favourites against an Arizona Coyotes club riding an unprecedented 14-game losing skid (0-12-2).
Clarke is on the ice for warmups as the extra defenseman but took part in power-play rushes in this morning's skate, indicating the Kings plan on dressing seven defensemen tonight. Clarke has one goal and four assists in 12 games this season.
