Status report
Byfield, a forward, did not accompany the Kings on their three-game road trip. ... The Blues held an optional morning skate. ... Walker, a forward, will be a healthy scratch for the first time this season. ... Brown returns after being a healthy scratch the past two games and will replace Walker, and Rosen will step into the lineup for Mikkola, a defenseman. ... Saad will miss his fifth straight game; coach Craig Berube said Sunday that the forward is "a ways away" from returning.
