@ByMattWeyrich Spencer Carbery said the disparity in minutes the last two games has been a “product of game flow” and he understands it’s not sustainable. Cited the importance of getting out to early leads so they’re not leaning too heavily on their top forwards for scoring. https://t.co/B1v2seA26T

@AlexDaugherty1 So Viktor Arvidsson has now had two microdiscectomy procedures on two different herniated disks in a year’s time.
And he’s in the final year of that big contract he signed back in 2017. https://t.co/lYroNEO5lZ

— NHL Game Day News (@GameDayNewsNHL) Oct 12, 2023
@NHLRussell Sounds like Viktor Arvidsson will be out longer than anticipated.
Todd McLellan said he’s going to be “pounding on someone’s desk” to make sure Laferriere sticks in the lineup.

@icemancometh Viktor Arvidsson won't play tonight and, per Todd McLellan, is a bit longer than day-to-day as to return timetable. Kings will be one player short tonight vs. Avs. Alex Laferriere will make NHL debut.

@DooleyLAK No Viktor Arvidsson tonight (lower-body injury). Kings are expected to go 11F / 6D against Colorado due to cap constraints.

@NHLRussell Kings announce their start of season roster.
- Alex Laferriere included. - Three goalies (Copley, Talbot, Rittich) still on roster. - Arthur Kaliyev and Jordan Spence sent down for cap purposes.
We’ll likely see more transactions before Wednesday’s opener. #GoKingsGo
@AStanovich68 Per Kings PR, Jaret Anderson-Dolan and only Jaret Anderson-Dolan has been waived. I doubt they actually go into opening night with three goalies. If I had to guess, they'll waive one of the exempt players and send Rittich down on Tuesday. Who knows though.
@AndrewKnollNHL #LAKings sent Turcotte, Laferriere and Clarke down to Ontario. Not definitive that none will be there opening night but seems like it. As I said earlier, waiver exemption seems to be driving decisions
@DooleyLAK One thing Todd McLellan said we could see some of this season is pairing his centers together to get them more ice time. Seeing a Danault/Dubois pairing here at 4-on-4, good example of PLD's versatility.
