Monarchs training camp is now in full swing, with a myriad of LA Kings prospects preparing for their first pre-season game this Friday night. As mentioned the other day, these are the line combinations being used for the forwards:
Nikolay Prokhorkin – Andrei Loktionov – Jordan Nolan
Linden Vey – Stefan Legein – Tyler Toffoli
