Thinning the ranks

At the moment, the Kings have 10 players who have appeared in every game this season. After the opening faceoff tonight, that number will drop to eight, since Drew Doughty and Raitis Ivanans won't be in the lineup.

The eight players who have appeared in every game?
Brown
Frolov
Greene
Handzus
Kopitar
O'Donnell
Simmonds
Stoll

The ``Ironman'' award goes to Michal Handzus, (EDIT:) Anze Kopitar and Sean O'Donnell, who also played all 82 games last season.

I think that Kopi played all 82 games last season as well. But the real ironman is O'Donnell since he probably played in some playoff games with the Ducks.

I believe Frolov has suited up every game, not sure he "played" in every game.
