Injury update
Kevin Dallman put away the walking boot today and skated prior to practice, the first time he has been on the ice since fracturing his right foot Dec. 22 against Nashville. He will make the trip to Canada, though Crawford said he is still 7-10 days away from playing.
Michael Cammalleri also is expected to make the trip. The Kings play in Edmonton on Tuesday.
``We still don’t know when he will play but he has improved to the point where we will bring him on the Canadian trip with us,'' Crawford said. ``He still needs to practice before he plays.''

I'm happy to see Cammi return to the team. He can only help the team.
Question to you all.
Do you see him returning to the top line with Kopi & Brown (in place of Sully).
And if so, where do you play Sully? Hopefully not on the 4th (energy) line with Ivanans & Thornton.
Thoughts.
who is kevin dallman?!!?
