A few quick things…
— The Kings aren’t counting on having Drew Doughty back tomorrow. The injury isn’t any more serious/worse than it was yesterday, but he did not skate today. Tom Preissing would go in Doughty’s lineup spot.
— Jack Johnson is getting close, real close. Terry Murray said Johnson won’t play tomorrow, but it sounds as though Saturday’s game at Dallas might be a real possibility.
— Jonathan Quick will start in goal tomorrow.
— Raitis Ivanans didn’t skate today because he had a “therapy” day, which is Murray’s way of saying that Ivanans has a nagging injury that’s not quite serious enough to keep him out of the lineup. Murray said he intends to have Ivanans in the lineup tomorrow.
