Projected Lineups – LA Kings vs. Dallas Stars; Different Look for Homestand Finale

January 19, 2023 By Scott Coffman

With the Dallas Stars in town on Thursday night, Kings coach Todd McLellan will once again turn to Pheonix Copley in net. The defense will likely look the same as it has for much of the last month.

Beyond that, change is in the air.

Tonight will mark the final game of LA’s current homestand. Following a game with the visiting Dallas Stars, McLellan and the Kings are heading out on a six-gane road trip leading into the All Star Game at the end of this month.

Getting there may be a chore, though.

Not only do they first have to face the Central Division leader, LA will also be without a few key pieces as they make their return to action for the first time since a loss last Saturday. Forward Carl Grundstrom is expected to be sidelined for the next few weeks, while Gabe Vilardi is said to be banged up and out day-to-day.

In return, several players were recalled earlier this morning:

In addition to Fagemo, LA Kings are recalling Alex Turcotte and Toby Björnfot.

Most of the season, the Kings have taken a full compliment of 23 players on extended road trips. With Grundstrom moving to IR, this loads them back up for the long haul out east.

NOTE: The projection below is an early look in advance of what we’re expecting to be an optional morning skate, coming off of two days of heavy practice. Should anything change, this article will be updated.
