Grundstrom had played in 14 straight games but will not be in the lineup on Thursday. Lias Andersson will draw back into the Kings lineup to replace Grundstrom in the bottom-6.

Poturalski was recalled prior to Tuesday's game, which was postponed, and then sent back on Wednesday. That was likely just a paper transaction, so look for the AHL leading point scorer to make his season debut on Thursday.
