Terry Murray said, “It’s four games in five days, so I’ve got to get both goaltenders into games.” For the latest on the Ducks, check out the great job done by my former colleagues Eric Stephens and Curtis Zupke on the Orange County Register’s Ducks blog. Here’s how the Kings and Ducks are expected to line up tonight, with the only question being the status of Nick Bonino, who reportedly has a bruised right foot…
