Status report
Jarry, a goalie, is day-to-day because of swelling around his eye sustained in a collision with Anaheim Ducks forward Adam Henrique during a 2-0 win Tuesday. … Hellberg will start after making 11 saves in relief of Jarry on Tuesday, and Blomqvist was recalled from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League on Thursday to back up Hellberg. … Forward Vinnie Hinostroza was assigned to the AHL in a corresponding move. … Carter will return to the lineup after being scratched for the past two games. … Ludvig, a defenseman, was placed on injured reserve Thursday. … The Kings did not hold a morning skate following a 4-1 win at the Vegas Golden Knights on Wednesday. … Copley will make his first start since being pulled in the first period after allowing three goals on six shots in a 5-4 win at the Arizona Coyotes on Oct. 27.
