Status report

Kuemper, who allowed eight goals on 41 shots in an 8-7 overtime loss at the Ottawa Senators on Monday, will not dress and is day to day. … Copley was recalled from Ontario of the American Hockey League and will be the backup. … Kings coach Jim Hiller said “there are a few guys that are banged up” which could affect the lineup by game time. … Nylander, a forward, will be a game-time decision. … Liljegren will make his season debut after being a healthy scratch the first three games. … Tavares will return after missing a 4-2 win against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday because of an illness.
