Status report
Spence and Anderson-Dolan, a center, each was recalled from Ontario of the American Hockey League on Thursday. … With the Kings playing a back-to-back, Copley is expected to make his second straight start Friday, with Talbot facing the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday. … Crouse missed practice Thursday and the forward was on the ice for only a few minutes during the morning skate Friday before leaving; if he can't play, Sanford will enter the lineup. ... Vejmelka and Ingram will continue to alternate starts; Vejmelka made 16 saves in relief of Ingram during a 6-3 loss at the Kings on Tuesday.
