The Ducks will take on the Kings tonight at Honda Center in the final preseason game for both clubs. The Kings played last night to a 5-3 victory over the Colorado Avalanche and have an impressive 4-2-1 record during the preseason. The Ducks, meanwhile, are 4-3 in an up-and-down preseason where the latest game was a significant “down” with a 6-0 loss to the Sharks on Friday night.
The Ducks roster is almost completely set as I wrote about here and we will have an NHL lineup tonight. The Kings also have only a few more cuts to make, so tonight’s roster will be very close to their regular season lineup. The game will be a fun one to watch.
Tonight’s lineup is below. The fourth line is always changing and won’t be set in stone until the pre-game skate, and the same can be said about the third defensive pairing.
