Armia Returns as Kings Kick Off Home-and-Home with Ducks

The Los Angeles Kings host the Anaheim Ducks in a home‑and‑home, with Joel Armia returning to the lineup and likely skating on a line with Byfield and Foegele; Armia’s presence should bolster both 5-on-5 play and the penalty kill. Darcy Kuemper starts tonight, with Anton Forsberg expected to get tomorrow’s game as the goalies split the series. The Kings are also weighing defensive-pair changes after a recent rough stretch, though the Anderson–Doughty top pairing remains in play for now.
