Status report
The Kings, who did not practice Saturday, are expected to dress the same skaters they used in a 3-2 win at the New York Islanders on Friday. … The Rangers recalled Carpenter from Hartford of the American Hockey League and loaned forward Jake Leschyshyn to the Wolf Pack. ... Lindgren will not play. The defenseman remains day to day after leaving in the first period of a 6-3 loss at the Washington Capitals on Saturday following a check into the boards by Capitals forward T.J. Oshie. ... Shesterkin could start after being pulled following the second period Saturday; he allowed five goals on 22 shots before Halak allowed one goal on five shots in the third period. ... New York acquired forward William Lockwood and a seventh-round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft for forward Vitali Kravtsov on Saturday.
