Lines, Defensive Pairings, & Scratches For Tonight's Game vs. LA
Coming off of a loss on the road vs. the Boston Bruins, the CBJ will be looking to stop the Kings tonight at NWA.
Here is what the morning skate lines and pairing looked like today.
Game Notes
- Elvis Merzlikins will get the start against LA.
- Cole Sillinger is day-to-day with an upper-body injury and didn't skate today.
- Erik Gudbranson didn't practice this morning. Andrew Peeke skated in his spot. HC Pascal Vincent said after practice that Gudbranson is a game-time decision (ill) and that Peeke will play for him if he can't go tonight.
Erik Gudbranson could really be missed tonight against the Kings. They could use his size and strength. Not playing tonight could make this game even tougher than it already will be.
How to Watch & Listen: Tonight's game will be on Bally Sports Ohio. As always, the legendary Jeff Rimer will be on the play-by-play. The radio broadcast will be on 97.1 The Fan with Bob McElligott behind the mic doing the play-by-play.
