We’ve reached the penultimate game of the 2023 preseason as the Kings set to take on the San Jose Sharks in Salt Lake City, Utah. We should expect to see a couple of lineup changes tonight, from what we saw on Tuesday at Crypto.com Arena, but not a full-scale change. The suspended Arthur Kaliyev will not play, with Alex Laferriere the replacement, while Brandt Clarke will replace Jordan Spence on the backend. Otherwise, should be the same group we saw against the Ducks, listed in full below.

Tonight’s game is back on Bally Sports West, first time this season. Nick Nickson and Jim Fox in the booth, Daryl Evans between the benches. Won’t have the play-by-play on here with the game back on TV. Enjoy the new crew.

Tonight’s Kings Lineup –

Byfield – Kopitar – Kempe
Moore – Danault – Arvidsson
Fiala – Dubois – Laferriere
Grundstrom – Lizotte – Lewis

Anderson – Doughty
Gavrikov – Roy
Englund – Clarke
