It’s only been nine days since the Kings last played in Phoenix, but the Coyotes have been busy. They traded forward Petteri Nokelainen to Montreal, acquired forward Cal O’Reilly for a draft pick and claimed Brett MacLean off waivers. O’Reilly has a groin injury and isn’t expected to play, while MacLean seems headed to the AHL. The Coyotes are coming off a 5-3 victory over New Jersey on Thursday. For the latest on the Coyotes, check out the following game preview from The Arizona Republic, followed by the expected lineups for the Kings and Coyotes…
