After dressing just 17 skaters against the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday, the Kings will be able to field a full roster against the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday.
This comes at the cost of Viktor Arvidsson, who went to LTIR on Thursday, but Alex Laferriere is doing a pretty good job of softening that blow.
Arthur Kaliyev will serve the final game of his suspension on Saturday, making way for Jaret Anderson-Dolan's return to the lineup.
It also means that Carl Grundstrom returns to the Phil Danault line, a spot he had success in two seasons ago.
The only question mark left is the third pair, Jordan Spence will return, but who's his partner?
It also looks like Pheonix Copley will take the net for his first start of the season.
Here are the expected lines for Saturday:
Quinton Byfield - Anze Kopitar - Adrian Kempe
Kevin Fiala - Pierre-Luc Dubois - Alex Laferriere
Trevor Moore - Phil Danault - Carl Grundstrom
Jaret Anderson-Dolan - Blake Lizotte - Trevor Lewis
Defense:
Mikey Anderson - Drew Doughty
Vladislav Gavrikov - Matt Roy
Andreas Englund - Jordan Spence
Goalies:
Pheonix Copley
Cam Talbot
Carolina Hurricanes Projected Lines Per Daily Faceoff:
Michael Bunting - Sebastian Aho - Seth Jarvis
Teuvo Teravainen - Jesperi Kotkaniemi - Martin Necas
Jordan Martinook - Jordan Staal - Jesper Fast
Stefan Noesen - Jack Drury - Jalen Chatfield
Defense:
Jacob Slavin - Brent Burns
Brady Skjei - Brett Pesce
Dmitry Orlov - Tony Deangelo
Goalies:
Frederik Andersen
Antti Raanta
After a tough first game against the Avalanche, things don't get easier against an excellent Hurricanes team.
They'll need to be at their best, or at least much better than they were against Colorado.
