Status report
Will Smith, a center, will not play as part of his development plan. … Kuemper was activated from injured reserve Thursday after missing four games with a lower-body injury. ... Goalie Pheonix Copley was loaned to Ontario of the American Hockey League. ... Burroughs is expected to play after being scratched the past three games. He worked on a pair with Gavrikov during the Kings morning skate Thursday, indicating a move away from a Anderson-Gavrikov pairing Los Angeles had used the past three games.
