KINGS-DUCKS REPORT

Share

Larry Robinson got through Wednesday night, but will turn the Kings’ coaching duties over to Rick Green and Jay Leach for tonight’s game against Nashville, with Don Edwards handling the goaltending work.

Robinson’s mother Isobel died Wednesday at 78, and he was to leave to attend a Saturday funeral at the family home in Winchester, Canada.

He was due to return Monday, which means he also will miss Saturday’s game against Calgary at the Great Western Forum.
