Up next for Kings: Thursday vs. Ottawa

Kings tonight VS. OTTAWA When: 7:30. Where: Staples Center. On the air: TV: FS West. Radio: 1150. Records: Kings 16-10-2, Senators 13-8-4. Record vs. Senators: 1-0-0 (2008-09). Update: While Anze Kopitar and Dustin Brown struggle, right wing Wayne Simmonds has stepped up with a career-best four-game point streak. He has three goals and five points in that span and leads the Kings with a plus-nine defensive rating. Winger Brandon Segal (sprained knee) won’t play tonight and will be replaced by Peter Harrold. The Senators lost the first two games of a five-game trip. -- Helene Elliott
