Kings vs Oilers Game 4: Lines, Notes & How to Watch

After another overtime win on Friday. The Los Angeles Kings have a chance to take a 3-1 series lead over the Edmonton Oilers Sunday night.

Puck drops at 6:00 PM.

Kevin Fiala was back on the ice for morning skate, still in a red non-contact jersey. Todd McLellan was non-committal when discussing Fiala's status for Sunday but did say he's progressing well. I'd assume Fiala isn't in tonight but is close to a return.

Blake Lizotte skated after the main group in a red non-contact, he isn't available tonight.

Per McLellan, the Kings haven't committed to their lineup yet. But Arthur Kaliyev was off the ice before Jaret Anderson-Dolan and Zack MacEwen, indicating a potential start for Kaliyev.

Joonas Korpisalo has been stellar through three games and will get the start again Sunday.
