Kings take on the Predators following Kempe's 2-goal game

Philipp Kurashev - Can't get into lineup Kurashev was scratched for the 12th time in 15 games in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Predators.
Impact Kurashev has slipped out of a regular role lately, with Igor Chernyshov primarily taking over his place in the lineup. The 26-year-old Kurashev has done a decent job of bouncing back, earning 20 points, 61 shots on net, 39 hits and an even plus-minus rating over just 42 appearances this season. However, with a more defensive forward in Ty Dellandrea also battling for a part-time spot, Kurashev is unlikely to have much of an impact for the rest of the campaign.

Celebrini has beaten all expectations just two years into his career, but he's still trying to find enough late in the campaign to get the Sharks into the playoffs.
