Scott Parse update

Scott Parse, who injured his groin in the first preseason game last month, continues to skate and look strong. Parse has been skating with the Kings’ fourth-line players and looks strong, but no firm date has been set for his return to the lineup.

“I don’t know when, but it’s close,” Parse said after practice today.

Before his injury, Parse had been penciled into a second-line role with the Kings. Without him, the Kings have totaled 25 goals in eight games, tied for the conference lead in goals scored, but the presumption is still that Parse will have a high-profile role upon his return.

“It’s not fun not playing,” Parse said, “but the guys are doing real well, and when I come back I just hope to contribute as much as I can and keep it going.”
