The Kings are on the ice here at Jobing.com Arena. The line pairings at morning skate were the same in Edmonton with one exception: (Gagne replaced Richardson on the line with Fraser and Nolan. Darryl Sutter confirmed that Gagne would be in the lineup tonight.)
Brown – Kopitar – Williams
Clifford – Richards – Carter
King – Lewis – Stoll
Gagne- Fraser – Nolan
Penner and Gagne
Scuderi – Doughty
Martinez – Voynov
Muzzin – Drewiske
Bodnarchuk – Mitchell
They came to phx. I came to LA. Im sad I wont be at the game. Lets tear these Yotes up tonight! !!

@Robert R, They must be working on the power play!

@toemas_sandstrom, If they are working on the power play they’ve taken a step in the right direction, because although they are just standing around it appears their sticks are actually on the ice

@toemas_sandstrom, All congregated in the corner. Gotta spread out, get the D running around.

@goldielocks,
Oh, and he had this tennis ball sized tumor on his neck removed this summer. So he’s now 100% healthy. Go Gags!

@goldielocks, I’m wondering about that. Hope he’s ok.

Are they skating in front of a crowd this morning? Looks just like at game time.

@Paul Armbruster (KingsNewsDaily.com), Did you hear anything about Smith’s status? He got whacked on the hand in the Blue Jackets game and went out of the game.

@Paul Armbruster (KingsNewsDaily.com),
Arena workers > attendance
There’s no way they can make the money out of it unless the workers pay for their tickets and concession.

Hopefully @DesertKing will arrive at the arena in time to help work on the PP

@Michael J.,
Hitting the shower then hitting the road. I developed a new and simple system to teach the PP -drill I mae a sign that says “whatever Kompon told you to do, do the opposite.” That should get me some nachos

@DesertKing,
If there is a bad call against the Kings and nachos fly onto the ice we will all know where they came from.
Way to represent!

Any news on starting goalie?

Good to see Mitchelin the line up. Hope his knee holds up.

@Gustavo, Not in line up, just traveling with team. Notice it is listed as 4 def line which is the scratch def pair.

Is Stoll really playing RW?

@DLB, Stoll can sit out a game or two, too… I’d rather have someone in a position they would play versus putting them out of position.

@goldielocks,
Meant with the team.
[Reply]
Wouldn’t mind seeing Toffoli at some point just to get a look at the kid. I feel that the teams legs aren’t quite there yet. Give ‘em a couple more games.
Also the issue scoring goals goes back to last season as well. Don’t really know the issues there but watching the Sharks/Avs game right now and the big thing that jumps out is the puck movement.
