Status report
Each team held an optional morning skate. … Edmundson will be a game-time decision, Kings coach Jim Hiller said; the defenseman played 14:51 in a 5-4 shootout win at the St. Louis Blues on Saturday. … Hiller said is is “hopeful” that Kopitar could return sometime during Los Angeles’ five-game road trip that concludes at the Carolina Hurricanes on Sunday; the center will miss his 10th straight game. … Connors, a center, was recalled from Ontario of the American Hockey League on Monday. … Edvinsson is expected to be out until the Olympic break, but should be ready to return when the Red Wings resume play, coach Todd McLellan said Monday; the defenseman will miss his third consecutive game.
