Canucks skate update

Daniel Sedin did some skating before the Vancouver Canucks’ morning skate today, but he isn’t expected to play tonight, and coach Alain Vigneault declined to comment on whether Sedin would travel with the team to Los Angeles for Games 3 and 4. Vigneault said only that there was “nothing to report on Daniel.” The Canucks are expected to make two lineup changes tonight, with Keith Ballard replacing Aaron Rome on defense and with Andrew Ebbett replacing the suspended Byron Bitz, on line with Manny Malhotra and Zack Kassian. The Kings’ morning skate will begin momentarily.
