Agozzino suited up in the Penguins' last eight games before the All-Star break, posting one assist in 6:59 ATOI. He returned to the AHL over the break and has 33 points (14G / 19A) in 37 games with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton this season.

Quick allowed three goals on 38 shots in the Kings shootout loss in Tampa Bay on January 14th. Jack Campbell started four of the last five games but they will turn to Quick tonight in yet another matchup with Tampa Bay. Quick is 8-7-1 with a 2.51 GAA and .912 SV% on home ice while the Lightning comes in with the best record (11-2-1) since Christmas.
Vasilevskiy allowed three goals on 35 shots in the Lightning's overtime loss in Dallas on Monday. The loss snapped a 10-game winning streak for Vasilevskiy, who is now 11-4-2 with a 2.28 GAA and .926 SV% on the road this season. In his first start vs. the Kings, Vasilevskiy stopped 38 of 41 shots in a 4-3 shootout win (Jan.14).
Lizotte has been out since January 8th but went to Ontario (AHL) over the bye week and is set to play on Wednesday. The rookie centre has scored four goals with 11 assists (15 points) in 45 games this season.
Ryan has been sidelined by a knee injury since December 27th but will play Wednesday vs. the Lightning. Ryan has three points (1G / 2A) in 27 games this season. So far he's played 18:48 ATOI but could be tasked with a larger role on Wednesday with both Drew Doughty and Derek Forbort likely out.
Ryan has been out since December 27th with a knee injury but is expected to be activated from IR and play vs. the Kings. Ryan will replace Derek Forbort and is expected to log big minutes on the Kings' top-pair.
Forbort is expected to be scratched in favour of Joakim Ryan, who returns from a knee injury. Head coach Todd McLellan said that the timing of the bye week and All-Star break "didn't work in Forbort's favour" after working his way back into playing shape after missing the first 43 games of the season with a back injury.
Gibson allowed four goals on 31 shots in the Ducks loss in San Jose on Monday. Gibson has lost four of his last five outings while posting a 3.25 GAA and .899 SV%. Tonight he faces the Coyotes for the fourth time this season--he's gone 1-1-1 with a 2.62 GAA and .916 SV% in the first three meetings.
Benning has been out since December 1st and was recently recalled from his conditioning stint with the Bakersfield Condors (AHL). With Benning returning to the lineup, Caleb Jones will sit and Benning will skate with Kris Russell.
Quick allowed three goals on 38 shots in the Kings shootout loss in Tampa Bay on January 14th. Jack Campbell started four of the last five games but they will turn to Quick tonight in yet another matchup with Tampa Bay. Quick is 8-7-1 with a 2.51 GAA and .912 SV% on home ice while the Lightning comes in with the best record (11-2-1) since Christmas.
Doughty missed Monday's practice and Wednesday's optional morning skate, suggesting he won't be available for tonight's game vs. the Lightning. Derek Forbort is also unlikely to play, so look for Sean Walker and Alec Martinez to play massive minutes for the Kings.
Jarnkrok missed Tuesday's practice and is questionable for play on Wednesday. Consider Jarnkrok a game-time decision and look for Yakov Trenin to remain in the lineup if Jarnkrok can't play.
Sundqvist suffered a lower-body injury on Monday and will miss at least two more games after being moved to IR on Wednesday. Sammy Blais returned to the lineup on Tuesday to replace Sundqvist.
Despite scoring goals in back-to-back games, Jankowski will be replaced by Tobias Reider tonight in Edmonton.
Dube played in nine straight games but will be replaced by Zac Rinaldo with the Flames looking for a little toughness against the Oilers. Dube had on goal and two assists in his last nine games.
Vasilevskiy allowed three goals on 35 shots in the Lightning's overtime loss in Dallas on Monday. The loss snapped a 10-game winning streak for Vasilevskiy, who is now 11-4-2 with a 2.28 GAA and .926 SV% on the road this season. In his first start vs. the Kings, Vasilevskiy stopped 38 of 41 shots in a 4-3 shootout win (Jan.14).
