Brown on the ice; defensive adjustments

Good morning from the Toyota Sports Center, where the Kings have assembled after a Tuesday recovery day.

Dustin Brown is participating in practice. Wearing a red jersey, he has been color coded with Kyle Clifford, Trevor Lewis and Jordan Nolan. Though he took the ice after Monday’s morning skate, this represents the first time he has returned to a full team practice.

There were some slight changes to the team’s defensive alignments, though until the team takes part in line rushes at a morning skate, only a moderate level of stock should be put into any reworkings.

Lines:

Gaborik – Kopitar – Williams
King – Richards – Carter
Pearson – Stoll – Toffoli
Clifford – Lewis – Brown – Nolan

Regehr – Doughty
Mitchell – Voynov
Martinez – Greene
Muzzin
