Panarin left Tuesday's game with an upper-body injury and will not play on Wednesday. Some other regulars will also sit out on Wednesday, so it's unclear if Panarin's injury is serious or if this is a precaution.






It looks like Byfield will replace Rasmus Kupari in the Kings' bottom-6 on Thursday. Byfield has been a healthy scratch for the last two games but re-enters with eight points (5G / 3A) in 36 games this season.

Armia has travelled back to Finland to attend to some personal reasons, so he will not play Tuesday vs. the Wild. It's unclear when Armia will be back with the team but Mathieu Perreault will replace him in Tuesday's game.
