Berglund to return in Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES -Linus Ullmark will start in net for the Buffalo Sabres when they visit the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday afternoon. Ullmark is coming off a 36-save shutout of the Arizona Coyotes in his season debut last Saturday.
Sabres coach Phil Housley shuffled his lines and power-play units at practice on Friday and will stick with those changes as the team looks to rebound from losses in Vegas and San Jose. That includes Patrik Berglund and Johan Larsson stepping into the lineup at forward in place of Remi Elie and Tage Thompson.
Berglund was a healthy scratch for Buffalo's loss to San Jose on Thursday. Larsson has been scratched since making his season debut against Colorado on Oct. 11. They'll skate together on a line with Zemgus Girgensons.

"It's tough sitting out and both of those guys have been really patient," Housley said. "It's just an opportunity for them to show what they can do. Lars is going to be tenacious on the forecheck, a really solid penalty killer along with Bergy.
"I like the makeup of that line because I feel like I can throw them out in any D-zone starts at any time during the game."
Casey Nelson will step back into the lineup in place of Nathan Beaulieu, who sustained an injury while blocking a shot in the third period against the Sharks. Housley said the defenseman is day-to-day. Nelson is expected to skate on defense pair with Marco Scandella.
The Kings have dropped their last three games, including a 7-2 loss to the New York Islanders on Saturday. Jonathan Quick made his first appearance since Oct. 5 but was pulled after allowing six goals on 29 shots.
Eden native Alex Iafallo leads the Kings with six points (2+4). He's expected to skate on a line with Anze Kopitar and Tyler Toffoli.
