Lizotte was not on the ice for the Kings' morning skate and will not play vs. the Kraken. Lias Andersson will draw into the lineup to replace him on the fourth line.


It's unclear why Malkin is not on the ice, he was present for the morning skate and was expected to play in New York. Jeff Carter would likely move up the lineup to replace Malkin.



Rakell did not arrive in time for the morning skate but is still expected to make his debut vs. the Blue Jackets. With him missing the morning skate, it's unclear who he will skate with.





Rakell will miss his third straight game with an upper-body injury but he's also a key trade piece for the Ducks, so they may be playing it safe ahead of Monday's deadline.







Jones has played in 12 straight games but will come out of the lineup on Thursday to make room for Riley Stillman. Jones' offence has actually picked up recently, posting five points (1G / 4A) in his last seven games.
