10/24 Preview – No Morning Skate in NJ + In-Game Changes, Depth Scoring, Byfield’s Status Unknown, Devils Trade

The Los Angeles Kings continue their five-game road trip on Saturday afternoon against the New Jersey Devils at the Prudential Center. Heading into the matchup without a morning skate, the Kings are seeking their third consecutive victory while dealing with uncertain lineup decisions. Center Quinton Byfield remains questionable due to an upper-body injury suffered against Washington, leaving his status as the second-line center unconfirmed before game time.

Los Angeles is also focused on finding secondary scoring, as recent offensive production has relied heavily on the top line of Artemi Panarin, Alex Laferriere, and Adrian Kempe. Meanwhile, the Devils enter the game adjusting to a blockbuster trade with the Winnipeg Jets that saw Dawson Mercer and Nico Daws depart, with goaltender Jake Allen expected to start in net.
