Status report

The Kings will be without two centers -- Byfield and Danault -- with Danault missing his second straight game. … Seguin, a forward, will be reevaluated Tuesday and could have surgery then, Stars coach Glen Gulutzan said. Seguin was injured Dec. 2 against the New York Rangers. … Lundkvist will return after missing two games because of an illness.
