The LA Kings Release Crucial Injury News Before Tonight's Game

This puts the Kings at a disadvantage, especially on their penalty kill, where Lizotte is a crucial contributor. The Oilers have a stacked powerplay, and without Lizotte, the Kings will have to find another way to defend against it. It is unclear why Lizotte won't be playing, but the Kings will need to quickly adjust their strategy to compensate for his absence.

This news is certainly a blow for the Kings, who are fighting for a game 5 win tonight in Edmonton.
