Monday practice update

Alec Martinez is not practicing this morning, but Andrei Loktionov is, on left wing with Mike Richards and Dustin Brown. Hopefully there will be a post-practice update on Martinez, who was checked shoulder-first into the boards late in the first period Saturday but returned for the start of the second period. Here’s how the Kings’ forwards are lined up this morning, with five players in the fourth-line mix…

Gagne-Kopitar-Williams
Loktionov-Richards-Brown
Clifford-Stoll-Hunter
Moreau/Fraser/Richardson/Lewis/Westgarth

Also, I’ll be part of a live chat at noon today. More details at LAKings.com.
