Status report
Copley is expected to make his second start in three games. ... The Kings will dress the same 18 skaters they used in a 5-0 loss at the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday. … Hoffman returns after missing eight games because of a lower-body injury. … Dach moves to center on the second line with Anderson taking his place at right wing on the top line. … Allen will make his fifth start in six games. ... Matheson, a defenseman, took part in the morning skate but will not play; he had a therapy day Friday and did not practice.
