Here’s how the Kings are expected to skate in Saturday’s “Frozen Fury” game in Las Vegas against Colorado:
Smyth-Kopitar-Williams
Purcell-Stoll-Brown
Frolov-Handzus-Simmonds
Clune-Lewis-Westgarth
Martinez-Doughty
Johnson-Scuderi
Drewiske-Greene
Quick
Bernier
Quick is expected to play all three periods. As for the rest of the lineup, it’s not a stretch to think that’s exactly how it could look for the Oct. 3 season opener. There’s still an Ivanans vs. Westgarth issue, but if the Kings are looking for some toughness on the other wing, it might be looking pretty good for Rich Clune…
