Up next for the Kings: Tuesday at Vancouver

Update: Kings leading scorer Anze Kopitar did not skate Monday, according to the team. Considering the physical beating that the center has been taking of late, being given the day off made complete sense. Assistant coach John Stevens ran practice Monday in Vancouver because Coach Darryl Sutter remained behind in Alberta to take care of some family business. Stevens was the team's interim coach, between the firing of Terry Murray and the hiring of Sutter, during its trip in December. Sutter is scheduled to join the Kings in Vancouver and will be on hand for Tuesday's morning skate. The Canucks are coming off a 4-2 loss to the Ducks on Sunday night, and Vancouver Coach Alain Vigneault said that Roberto Luongo will start in goal against the Kings.
