PREGAME NOTES

–Goalie Jack Campbell was sent back to the Reign by the Kings earlier this afternoon and will start in net against Stockton’s David Rittich. Campbell allowed five goals on 27 shots in his last start, a 5-1 loss to San Antonio last Wednesday.

–Scratches for the Reign tonight are: G Jonah Imoo (lower-body/did not travel), D Alex Lintuniemi, D Rob Scuderi (did not travel), D Zach Trotman (upper-body/did not travel) and F Patrick Bjorkstrand.

–Here’s a bit of preview audio from head coach Mike Stothers, via Joey Zakrzewski:

–Forward Matt Frattin is with Stockton this season. Frattin played with the Kings during the 2013-14 season after L.A. acquired him and Ben Scrivens in the trade that sent Jonathan Bernie to the Maple Leafs. Frattin was later moved in the trade that allowed the Kings to get Marian Gaborik from the Blue Jackets.
