Kupari has played in the last three games but has yet to get on the scoresheet while going minus-2 with two PIMS and two shots. Look for Michael Amadio to draw in for him and for Kupari to go back to the AHL if he's not going to play at the NHL level.





"If he's with us now, he'll play," is what head coach Todd McLellan told the media following Thursday's practice session. Kupari is expected to skate on a line with Adrian Kempe and Trevor Moore in his debut and comes up to the NHL after scoring two goals with seven assists (nine points) in his first eight AHL games of the 2021 season.



Miller was scratched on Sunday but will most likely replace Matt Irwin in the lineup in New York. Miller has two goals and three assists (five points) in 18 games this season.





Anderson-Dolan left last Thursday's game with an upper-body injury and will miss at least a couple of weeks as a result. The Kings got Michael Amadio and Andreas Athanasiou back on Saturday, replacing Anderson-Dolan in the bottom-6.



Namestnikov was listed as questionable after missing Thursday's practice but was ruled out on Friday morning. Darren Helm is expected to return from a lower-body injury to replace Namestnikov in the lineup.

Namestnikov was missing from practice on Thursday and his status for Friday's game vs. Florida is uncertain. Evgeny Svechnikov skated in his spot yesterday, so he could make his season debut if Namestnikov is unavailable.
