LA Kings Prepare for Crucial Road Trip
The Los Angeles Kings are heading to St. Louis with a full roster as they embark on a challenging five-game road trip. Among the traveling players are Anze Kopitar, Darcy Kuemper, Corey Perry, and Kyle Burroughs, who are all crucial to the team's performance, especially after a disappointing start to the season. Although Kopitar and Kuemper are recovering from injuries, their presence on the trip is a positive sign for the team. Kopitar, who suffered a foot injury, is on a week-to-week recovery timeline and could potentially play during the trip. Kuemper, dealing with a lower-body issue, has returned to practice, indicating he might be ready soon as well. Perry, returning from knee surgery, has been training with the team and is expected to contribute shortly. Burroughs, still in recovery, is traveling but not yet ready for full contact. With the Kings currently sitting at 1-3-2, this trip is critical for their season as they face two playoff teams from the previous year.
