Status Report
The Islanders did not practice on the morning of the game due to a prior loss against the Anaheim Ducks. Ryan Pulock may return after participating in a morning skate, though he missed the previous game because of an upper-body concern.
Meanwhile, for the Kings, Drew Doughty, Trevor Moore, and Darcy Kuemper are expected to return from their respective injuries. However, Quinton Byfield will miss his second consecutive game and might be placed on injured reserve.
Jared Wright was recently recalled from the American Hockey League following a trade that sent Warren Foegele to the Ottawa Senators.
