Sturm is out; Loktionov could be, too.
The Marco Sturm experiment ended today when the Washington Capitals plucked the veteran winger off waivers from the Kings.
On Thursday, Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau told the Washington Post that third-line winger Eric Fehr would miss up to two weeks; adding Sturm could be in response to that injury. One must figure that the Kings did their homework on such a possibility before letting Sturm go. Now that he's gone, the Kings are down a man entering today's 1 p.m. game against the Colorado Avalanche.
Don't expect Andrei Loktionov to be summoned from Manchester.
Monarchs head coach Mark Morris told the Manchester Union Leader that Loktionov is done for the season after sustaining a shoulder or wrist injury Friday.
No word yet on who Anze Kopitar's left wing will be today.
