Status report
The Kings held an optional morning skate with 13 skaters and Copley. … Fiala, Danault, Gavrikov and Anderson-Dolan, a forward, each missed practice Wednesday because of an illness making its way through the team, but each will be available Thursday. "If we played yesterday, they would've been in the lineup," Kings coach Todd McLellan said. … The Senators held an optional morning skate, which included majority of the team. … Zub, a defenseman, will not play. He practiced three times this week but was given Thursday off. Coach D.J. Smith said Zub still is dealing with headaches and does not feel "100 percent."
