Projected Lineups
Here’s how the Kings lined up against Seattle in Saturday’s 4-2 win.
Tonight's @LAKings Line Rushes –
— Zach Dooley (@DooleyLAK) March 27, 2022
Iafallo – Kopitar – Kempe
Moore – Danault – Arvidsson
Vilardi – Byfield – Kupari
Grundstrom – Lizotte – Kaliyev
Bjornfot – Durzi
Moverare – Spence
Maatta – Stecher
Petersen
Quick
The Kings have recently adopted the two-game goalie rotation, which would put Cal Petersen in line for a back-to-back against the same team. However, given that Petersen has faced Seattle in both contests this year, will LA opt for Jonathan Quick to give the Kraken a different look?
Tonight will mark head coach Todd McLellan’s 1,000th game coached. The Kings have seen a lot of milestones achieved this season; first Doughty’s 1,000th game, Quick’s 700th game played, and now McLellan’s. Congrats, coach!
Here’s how Seattle aligned on Saturday:
Kraken lines. Schwartz not on the ice, Grubi is in net. Rask & Pouliot #SeaKraken debuts, Fleury out.

The Kings and Kraken get underway at 7:30 pm PT. Hope LA isn’t looking ahead to Wednesday and Thursday’s matchups with Edmonton and Calgary because an important two points are on the line on Monday.
The Kings may be forced to move on from Sean Walker
