Ersberg starts tonight
Tonight against Calgary, Erik Ersberg will make his first start since March 16. With the Kings facing back-to-back games, Jonathan Quick is scheduled to start tomorrow in Edmonton.
"He hasn't played a lot in the last while, but whenever he's been put in, he's played very well," Terry Murray told the Kings' website. "I look for the same from him. He's a competitive guy. He feels good, he's fresh, he's on top of his game and I expect a solid performance."
You can follow the above link for a few quotes, but otherwise, there aren't expected to be any lineup changes, with the lines as follows:
Frolov-Kopitar-Williams
Simmonds-Handzus-Brown
Calder-Boyle-Purcell
Ivanans-Armstrong-Moller
