Thursday (10/4) practice

A fairly standard day at practice today. Crawford pushed the team hard again today, with a practice that went at least 70 minutes, so I would expect that he will dial things back a bit tomorrow in advance of Saturday's game. Crawford cringed a bit at the way the Ducks played last night but is hopeful that two more days will have the Kings in better shape.

Aubin pronounced himself 90 percent healthy and said he could play now if he had to, but wants to give himself another couple days to be certain.

Frolov said he's 100 percent but is still working his way back into game shape after missing about 10 days of practice before the season opener.

More throughout the afternoon from Crawford, O'Sullivan, Johnson and Aubin.
