Thursday skate update (Ponikarovsky out)

We’re having some blog issues here, as none of my morning stuff got posted, but I’ll take another swing here… The Kings will go with a fourth line of Brad Richardson, Trevor Lewis and Kevin Westgarth tonight, and there will be no changes on defense. Davis Drewiske practiced this morning, with a visor, and looked surprisingly OK after taking a puck to the face yesterday. Terry Murray had some strong words for the play of Alexei Ponikarovsky, who will be a healthy scratch tonight. More notes and quotes to come…
