Hellebuyck had an outstanding 41 save (.976 SV%) winning effort in his first start of the season before struggling in a 4-1 loss to Dallas his previous time out. He will be looking for his second win of the early season Wednesday.

Iafallo suffered a lower-body injury in Monday's overtime win in Detroit. Moving him to IR means that he will miss at least seven days (three games). The Kings have not provided a timetable on how long he's expected to be sidelined. Look for Arthur Kaliyev to replace him in the lineup on Tuesday.

It's unclear what is ailing Iafallo, but he will miss the second half of the Kings' back-to-back. Arthur Kaliyev, who was a healthy scratch last night, is expected to replace Iafallo.
