Status report
The Ducks did not hold a morning skate following a 4-3 overtime win against the Calgary Flames on Wednesday. ... Dostal could start after Husso made 37 saves Wednesday. ... Kempe will be in the lineup after missing the third period of a 2-1 loss to the Seattle Kraken on Monday for the birth of his first child. … Turcotte will miss his ninth straight game, but the forward is “really close” to returning, Kings coach Jim Hiller said. … Doughty skated on his own Thursday but the defenseman will miss his second straight game.
