A few weeks back, the Kings were rolling right along until they fell at the hands of the lowly Flyers. LA enters action on Wednesday in the midst of a 9-2-1 run. Will they successfully navigate the potential trap-filled waters ahead; can they avoid an embarrassing loss to the visiting San Jose Sharks?
Once again, goaltender Pheonix Copley is expected to man the crease. Leaving coach Todd McLellan’s only real decisions focused on forward Carl Grundstrom and defenseman Jordan Spence. Will either player work their way back into the lineup? It’s possible, even if not that probable.
