Detroit has the best record in the NHL with 74 points, and the Kings the worst with 40 points. But the Red Wings will be playing without All-Star forward Henrik Zetterberg, who has a back injury. I’m interested in seeing Purcell for the first time. Here’s the early lines for the Kings:

Brown-Kopitar-O’Sullivan
Frolov-Armstrong-Calder
Purcell-Handzus-Moulson
Giuliano-Thornton-Ivanans
