December 3 practice notes

The Kings held a full-team practice late on Wednesday morning in advance of the team’s travel to Arizona.

Players were grouped together in color-coded lines:
White: Pearson-Kopitar-Carter
Yellow: King-Richards-Toffoli
Green: Gaborik-Brown-Stoll-Williams
Purple: Andreoff-Clifford-Lewis-Nolan

-Marian Gaborik told reporters that his return will be “soon,” though it won’t happen tomorrow night against the Coyotes. He’s not traveling with the team today, Darryl Sutter said after practice. More to come on Gaborik, who suffered his injury late in the Nashville game and attempted to play through it against Minnesota. More to come on Gabby.

-No, Slava Voynov did not take the ice with the team. He did, however, skate with an instructor after the Kings left the ice.

-There are no issues with Alec Martinez on the morning after he returned to the lineup. I’ll have a story on Martinez – tied in with quotes on Robyn Regehr’s presence – later today.

-The team will be leaving for Arizona shortly; I’ll have a lot more today from the desert.
