AT COLUMBUS

Time: 4 PST.

On the air: TV: FS West; Radio: 1150.

Where: Nationwide Arena.

Records: Kings 26-27-9, Blue Jackets 31-26-6.

Record vs. Blue Jackets: 2-1.

Update: This is the Kings’ last game before the trading deadline of noon PST Wednesday. What will they do? Probably not much. Defenseman Tom Preissing was put on waivers Monday and forward Oscar Moller was recalled from Manchester (N.H.) of the American Hockey League, where he had been sent for conditioning. Columbus is chasing its first playoff berth and may get it thanks to goalie Steve Mason, who leads the NHL with eight shutouts.
