News/Notes Per Jon Rosen:
- -The vitals: Jonathan Quick left the ice first and is expected to start in goal against Anaheim. Jake Muzzin joined took the ice late in the skate for the second consecutive day and is “doubtful,” per John Stevens. “He might need a little more time. He’s coming along. I think he’s made good progress, but he’s doubtful.” Before running line rushes, the Kings practiced power play breakouts and entries.
- Their vitals: John Gibson will start in goal, as reported by Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register, who also noted that the Ducks ran some power play detail this morning. Anaheim recalled forwards Ondrej Kase and Jared Boll from AHL-San Diego and placed Kase with Nick Ritchie and Adam Henrique at practice yesterday, and Boll with Antoine Vermette and Chris Wagner, per Stephens. Boll, who was assigned to the Gulls in December, hasn’t played an NHL game since suffering a lower-body injury during Los Angeles’ 4-3 overtime win at Anaheim on November 7 that wasn't related to his fight Andy Andreoff that night. Andrew Cogliano signed a three-year contract extension, a transaction that was announced yesterday.
Bob Miller Night!
Tonight’s puck drop is scheduled for 7:56 p.m. The festivities honoring Bob Miller will begin with Patrick O’Neal’s introduction at the spot of Bob’s statue at 7:01, with Kings President Luc Robitaille and Nashville Predators play-by-play broadcaster (and former Kings broadcaster) Pete Weber speaking in advance of the statue’s unveiling, which will take place at 7:10. The outdoors ceremony ends at 7:12 and will be followed by the ceremony inside, which will begin with a tribute video to Bob beginning at 7:33 p.m. Bob will be introduced shortly thereafter, with the banner unfurling taking place after his introduction. Because Nick Nickson and Daryl Evans will be attending both the indoor and outdoor ceremonies, I’ll handle the pre-game show on KABC 790 between 7:00 and 7:30 before tossing to Dave Joseph and Bob Miller so the indoors ceremony can be heard live on radio.
