Projected Lineup: LA Kings vs. Washington Capitals in Game 16

November 17, 2021 By MayorsManor Staff

For the first time since February 2020, the Kings and Capitals will square off on Wednesday night. Given the one-off scheduling the NHL used last season, this will be a common theme throughout the year, where coach Todd McLellan is preparing for a team he hasn’t seen in quite some time.

There are several headlines leading into tonight’s game, including:

— Staples Center to be rebranded as Crypto.com Arena next month

— Gabe Vilardi has been assigned to AHL Ontario

— Cal Petersen’s new mask is on hold for the time being

However, the key story heading into the game has been building for months. Tonight will feature the on-ice debut of LA’s new alternate jersey (full story below), along with the return of their chrome helmets.

BREAKING NEWS: LA Kings New Alternative Jersey Design Confirmed

Even with an overtime loss to the Jets recently, snapping their 7-game winning streak, the Kings still have points in eight straight games. Can they make it nine straight vs. a Caps team that is 5-2-3 in their previous 10 games and dropped a game in overtime to the Ducks on Tuesday night?

LA Kings notes…

Dustin Brown is absent from today's morning skate. Well assume it's a maintenance day.

Cal Petersen is also absent thus far. Although Quick was expected to start.

    If Andersson is healthy, he should be in the line-up.
