No practice; fathers’ trip

The Kings did not practice this morning and are on their way to Chicago for the start of the semi-annual “fathers’ trip.” About a dozen of the dads were at last night’s game and are on today’s flight, and a few more will meet the team in Chicago and continue on to Winnipeg. There’s a big team dinner scheduled for tonight.

Not sure when there will be an update on the status of Simon Gagne, since there’s no practice, but the Kings do have to make a roster move today to get back to 23 players. They were allowed to carry 24 during the roster freeze after Mike Richards returned.
