With a pair of wins over Seattle this season already in their pocket, Todd McLellan and his LA roster will look to push it to three straight on Monday night at Crypto.com Arena.
Then, the final Kings-Kraken game of the year will come April 27 in Seattle.
As for tonight, the recent trend of at least one lineup change continues:
One LAK lineup change for tonight v SEA:
Lias Andersson for Blake Lizotte. Lizotte took a bit hit on Saturday, was not on ice for AM skate.— Dennis Bernstein (@DennisTFP) March 28, 2022
There are also some other roster moves in play that will help AHL Ontario for the stretch run:

Reinforcements for AHL Ontario continue to arrive. As mentioned previously, Samuel Helenius will be in SoCal this week to join the Reign.
He's bringing a friend too…
Look for defenseman Kim Nousiainen to join him.
And there's likely more to come.
Stand by.
