Sunday skate update

The Kings are on the ice, with the 22 skaters split evenly in white and black jerseys, more of a scrimmage-type look, and so far that’s what the drills suggest as well. Mike Richards is once again skating, and he’s actually involved in high-tempo drills and taking shifts with a set of wingers. The Kings are rotating three centers (Kopitar, Stoll, Richards) among two sets of wingers (Gagne/Brown and Penner/Richards). Willie Mitchell is practicing alongside Jack Johnson, so that bodes well for his chances of playing tomorrow. Here’s how the third and fourth lines, and defense pairs, look…

Clifford-Loktionov-Lewis
Richardson-Fraser-Westgarth/Hunter

Scuderi-Doughty
Mitchell-Johnson
Drewiske-Greene
Martinez-Voynov
