Ivanans in, Williams very close

Raitis Ivanans will return to the Kings’ lineup tonight, in place of Scott Parse on the fourth line with Jeff Halpern and Rich Clune. Terry Murray explained that he expects a more physical game from Chicago tonight, particularly with the return of agitator Adam Burish to the lineup.

In bigger news, Murray indicated it’s possible that Justin Williams will return to the lineup Friday at Dallas. Murray said he wanted to get a look at Williams in one more full practice (tomorrow) before making a decision about Friday’s game.
