Seems as though the Kings are going to double-shift a center on the fourth line, since O'Sullivan has already seen double-duty early and Klemm has yet to get in the game.

Phoenix just had a power play, for about four seconds until the Coyotes took a penalty of their own. Good skating by the Kings early, with a couple quality chances.
