-This is a challenge considering the Kings didn’t hold a morning skate, Darryl Sutter wasn’t available to the media and Mike Richards took a hit to the head late in Game 1 that may affect his Game 2 status. Consider this a rough draft; more could be learned following Sutter’s 4:00 pm media availability. I’m banking on Richards playing and the top two lines staying the same. If he is unable to go, expect Jeff Carter to shift to center and Tyler Toffoli to skate opposite Dustin Penner. Assuming Richards is fine – he turned down an interview request in the locker room last night – the only change I see coming would be Tyler Toffoli’s inclusion in the lineup as the Kings are currently starved for offense. Toffoli is most useful on the right side, and I’d bank on Richardson shifting to center and Colin Fraser dropping out of the lineup to accommodate him.
