Tuesday practice update

After practice today, Terry Murray said Brad Richardson would go back into the Kings’ lineup Thursday. Richardson will start out in a fourth-line role, but Murray added that he wouldn’t hesitate to elevate Richardson to the second line, during the game, if he felt it necessary. The Kings will indeed go with a first line of Anze Kopitar, Ryan Smyth and Justin Williams. Murray didn’t have any particularly deep thoughts on the move, basically saying that he just wanted to shake things up a bit, to try to get some wins. More notes and quotes to come…
