Status report
The Kings held an optional skate on Thursday, but are likely to use 11 forwards and seven defensemen. ... Haula did not participate in the skate but is expected to play. ... Allen will miss his second straight game, but the goalie did skate on his own Thursday. "We'll see where he's at going into practice [Friday] and make a determination from there," New Jersey coach Sheldon Keefe said of Allen's injury. White, a defenseman, was recalled from Utica of the American Hockey League but will not play.
