Status report
Kaliyev is expected to return after being a healthy scratch for a 3-0 win against the New York Islanders on Monday, when the Kings used 11 forwards and seven defensemen. Moverare, a defenseman who played Monday, would be a healthy scratch. ... Arvidsson, a forward, accompanied Los Angeles on its three-game trip but isn't expected to play; he has been out since Feb. 20. ... The Blues will use the same lineup from a 5-1 win against the Boston Bruins on Monday except for Binnington, who will start in goal. ... Dean, a forward and first-round pick (No. 30) in the 2021 NHL Draft, was recalled from Springfield of the American Hockey League on Monday and is waiting to make his NHL debut.
