Status report
Zacha’s status is unclear after he was injured in the third period of a 4-2 win at the Anaheim Ducks on Friday; he took a hit from Ducks defenseman Drew Helleson with 9:06 remaining, and did not play the rest of the game. ... Swayman is expected to start after DiPietro made 26 saves Friday. … The Kings held an optional morning skate, leaving it unclear if they will follow through on using Laferriere as their first-line center and dropping Byfield to the second line as they did in practice on Thursday. … Los Angeles will dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen, with Ward being scratched despite the forward having been recalled from Ontario of the American Hockey League on Saturday. ... Forward Jared Wright was sent back to the AHL in a corresponding move. … Zuccarello will travel with the Kings on their upcoming five-game road trip, which begins at the Washington Capitals on Tuesday; the forward will miss his third straight game.
