Sturm ready for return to lineup
The wait is finally over for Marco Sturm, who is on track to return to the Kings’ lineup for Wednesday’s game at Anaheim after missing 12 games because of knee tendinitis. When the Kings left, on Feb. 9, for their latest six-game road trip, it seemed as though Sturm’s return was only days away. Turns [...]
Loktionov sharp at center; Sturm update
The Kings added a new player during this road trip. Technically, it’s the same guy, in the same jersey, but Andrei Loktionov seems to have transformed himself a bit in the past couple games, and there’s no mystery. Loktionov, a natural center, had been playing wing for the previous three weeks, mostly out of necessity, [...]
Sturm still on the mend
Marco Sturm will miss his ninth consecutive game tomorrow because of knee tendinitis. Sturm continues to skate heavily in practice and will actually be on the ice tomorrow morning — before the 12:30 p.m. local start — with the rest of the healthy scratches, getting in more work. Before the Kings left Los Angeles, Sturm [...]
Sturm getting closer to return
Marco Sturm is close to returning from injured reserve. That much is known. Exactly when Sturm will play, or whose spot he will take on the Kings’ roster, remains unknown. Sturm made it through a second consecutive day of full-team practice Tuesday, a day after he had the final treatment on his knee for the [...]
Sturm, Parse injury updates
The Kings might soon face a difficult decision. Marco Sturm is continuing his rehabilitation from knee tendinitis, and depending on the results of his meeting with doctors today, Sturm might be able to play Thursday in Pittsburgh. The Kings are out of roster spots, however, so assuming that everyone else stays healthy, when Sturm returns [...]
Different practice look for Sturm
As noted earlier, Marco Sturm practiced in a first-line, purple jersey today — he did the same a few days ago, before returning to a green fourth-line jersey yesterday — and Terry Murray said the only purpose was to even out practice drills… MURRAY: “It was to get five guys off the one line that [...]
Sturm ready for practice, but not games yet
Marco Sturm will miss his fifth consecutive game with knee tendinitis, and will remain on injured reserve when the Kings play Minnesota tomorrow night, but Sturm was back on the ice for practice today. Before the All-Star break, the Kings considered whether to bring Sturm on the road trip or have him do rehab work [...]
Sturm to miss at least three games
After 15 games with the Kings, Marco Sturm is out of the lineup. Sturm, who joined the Kings’ lineup on Dec. 21 after a trade with Boston, and after having recovered from significant surgery on his right knee, was placed on injured reserve because of tendinitis in the other knee. Sturm previously had ACL surgery [...]
Loktionov up; Sturm on I.R.
Marco Sturm has been placed on injured reserve, retroactive to yesterday, with knee tendinitis — the other knee, not the one most recently repaired surgically — and Andrei Loktionov has been officially called up. Presumably, Loktionov will play tonight — he’s on the ice right now for the morning skate — but we’ll find that [...]
