Kings tonight

Records: Kings 10-10-3, Coyotes 10-11-2.

Record vs. opponent (2007-08): 2-6-0.

Update: The Kings will play only their eighth road game, to go with 16 home games. They're 3-4-0 away from home. Wayne Gretzky's team has won two of its last three games, each a one-goal decision. Mikael Tellqvist has been designated the starting goaltender. Coyotes center Olli Jokinen -- who began his NHL career with the Kings and was the third overall pick in the 1997 draft -- will sit out the game because of a shoulder injury. Kings defenseman Denis Gauthier (bruised right foot) did not make the trip and is day to day.
