Scouting the Ducks

Tonight’s game is the third of six meetings this season between the Kings and the Anaheim Ducks (7 p.m. start), with the Kings holding a 2-0-0 record (including one shootout win) so far. Of course, things have changed since the teams last met, with Bruce Boudreau taking over for Randy Carlyle behind the Ducks’ bench. The Ducks are 0-1-1 under Carlyle and have found some offense (six goals in two games) but have also allowed nine goals. George Parros has missed 13 games with an eye injury but his status for tonight’s game is expected to be a game-time decision. For the latest on the Ducks, check out The Orange County Register’s blog, followed by tonight’s expected lineups for both teams…
