Jeannot struck Brock Boeser of the Vancouver Canucks with an illegal hit to the head during last Thursday, resulting in a three-game suspension. It is the first suspension of Jeannot's career. He will return to the lineup on Saturday, November 16th against the Detroit Red Wings.

With the score tied 2-2, Kuemper exited Wednesday's game against the Colorado Avalanche early in the third period. He was replaced by David Rittich, and the Kings ultimately lost the game 4-2. Kuemper missed some time earlier this season due to a lower-body injury, but it's unclear if his current ailment is related.

The 26-year-old Moverare has been a journeyman since making his North American professional debut in the 2020-21 season. He played a career-high 24 games with the King last season, scoring one goal.

Portillo was the third-round pick, 67th overall, of the Buffalo Sabres in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft. The 24-year-old goalie has yet to play and NHL game and has spent the past two season with the Ontario Reign (AHL) after a successful tenure with the University of Michigan. Portillo will likely serve as the backup to David Rittich while Darcy Kuemper (undisclosed) is sidelined.
