While LA came away with a dominating 3-1 win at Frozen Fury 2.0 in Utah, they’ll now look for a repeat performance out of what is expected to be a rather different lineup.
Although nothing is set in stone — especially as coach Todd McLellan continues to mull over how to best deploy his 13 forwards competing for the four open roster spots at forward — below is our early morning projection. We’ll update it closer to game time, if needed, as additional info becomes available.
LA KINGS PROJECTED LINEUP vs. VGK on 10/1
Brown – Kopitar – Arvidsson
Moore – Byfield – Fagemo
Tkachev – Vilardi – Andersson
Grundstrom – JAD – Kupari
Other options: Danault, Kempe, Iafallo, Kaliyev, Frk, Wagner, Lemieux, and Lizotte
Anderson – Doughty
Bjornfot – Clague
Maatta – Strand
Other options: Edler and Walker
Petersen (starter)
