Goalie Sergei Bobrovsky, one of four Panthers players who took part in an optional morning skate Thursday, will miss his second game because of an upper-body injury he sustained in practice Saturday.
Driedger, who made 43 saves in an 8-4 victory against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Sunday, is 5-2-0 with a 2.40 goals-against average and a .931 save percentage in eight games (seven starts) this season.
The Panthers, who have won two straight, are 9-4-0 in their past 13 games.
Goalie Jack Campbell is expected to make his third start in four games for the Kings, 1-4-1 in their past six games and 3-7-2 in their past 12.
