No lineup changes expected

The Kings are well underway with their morning skate at the SAP Center, and judging by the line rushes and defensive pairings, the team is likely to utilize the same lineup that left Vancouver with a 3-2 overtime win Monday night.

This morning’s rushes:

Brown – Kopitar – Williams
King – Richards – Carter
Carcillo – Stoll – Nolan
Clifford – Vey – Toffoli

Muzzin – Doughty
Regehr – Voynov
Mitchell – Martinez

-Though the goalies are still on the ice, expect Ben Scrivens to make his eighth consecutive start.

-After the above four lines finished their first rotation, Tanner Pearson and Colin Fraser took a rush with Justin Williams, which would be an indication that Pearson and Fraser will be out tonight. Keep in mind that Linden Vey remained on the ice for extra work in Vancouver while Fraser exited the ice early, and yet Vey was still in the lineup against the Canucks. As always, projected lines are educated assessments and not definite alignments.
