Status report
Sorokin will start after Varlamov made 22 saves in a 6-1 win at the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday. … Anderson is likely to return after missing eight games because of an upper-body injury. … Rittich will make his first start since Feb 26. Talbot had started the past six games. … The Kings could use 11 forwards and seven defensemen, coach Jim Hiller said. If they do, Moverare, a defenseman, would replace Kaliyev in the lineup.
