Projected Lineups

Here’s how the Kings lined up against Seattle in Saturday’s 4-2 win.

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.

Donato-Wennberg-Eberle
McCann-Geekie-Lind
Rask-Gourde-Kuhlman
Sprong-Sheahan-Donskoi

Oleksiak-Soucy
Dunn-Larsson
Pouliot-Borgen

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
