Status report

Will Smith, a center, will not play as part of his development plan. … Burroughs is expected to play after being scratched the past three games. He worked on a pair with Gavrikov during the Kings morning skate Thursday, indicating a move away from a Anderson-Gavrikov pairing Los Angeles had used the past three games. … Kuemper, a goalie, continues to practice with the team but is not expected to be available against the Sharks.
