Cam Talbot - Struggles in team debut Talbot stopped 32 of 36 shots in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Talbot handled most of the Avalanche's lineup, but their top-end talent decided the game. The 36-year-old netminder will have a chance at the No. 1 job this year, but Pheonix Copley is in the mix as well, and David Rittich is at AHL Ontario as a third option. Talbot probably won't see a starter's workload, and if his early performance lacks, Copley may get his chance to stake a claim to the crease. The Kings have another tough matchup set for Saturday at home against the Hurricanes.

Viktor Arvidsson - Set to miss additional time Arvidsson will not be back for "a while" according to head coach Todd McLellan, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports.

Impact Arvidsson was revealed to be questionable for Wednesday's season opener, which he ended up sitting out. Now it appears the winger could miss additional time going forward. Alex Laferriere got the first chance to replace Arvidsson in the lineup, and McLellan indicated he'd be happy to keep Laferriere up with the big club.

Cam Talbot - Starting season opener Talbot will protect the home goal in Wednesday's game versus the Avalanche, Dennis Bernstein of The Fourth Period reports.

Impact Talbot will make his regular-season debut for the Kings in this contest. The 36-year-old netminder had a mediocre season with the Senators last year with a 2.93 GAA, an .898 save percentage and a 17-14-2 record in 35 games. He'll be tested immediately against the Avalanche's strong offense.

Arthur Kaliyev - Back with Kings Kaliyev (suspension) was recalled by the Kings on Wednesday.

Impact Kaliyev still needs to serve his two-game suspension before he'll be allowed to play for the Kings. Assuming he stays on the NHL roster, Kaliyev won't be eligible to play Wednesday versus Colorado or Saturday against Carolina, but the 22-year-old would be an option for Tuesday's game against the Jets.

Viktor Arvidsson - Ruled out against Avs Arvidsson (lower body) will not be available to face Colorado on Wednesday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Impact Arvidsson's spot in the lineup will go to Trevor Lewis while the team will play a man down due to their cap concerns. If Arvidsson still isn't ready to play versus Carolina on Saturday, the Kings should then be able to make an emergency recall to add a 12th forward to the lineup. As such, fantasy players should probably expect significant minutes for the Kings' top six.

Viktor Arvidsson - Iffy for opener Arvidsson (lower body) is considered questionable for Wednesday's season opener versus Colorado, Russell Morgan of Hockey Royalty reports.

Impact Arvidsson is considered day-to-day with his lower-body issue, so even if he's forced to miss Wednesday's contest, he likely won't be sidelined for long. More information regarding Arvidsson's status against the Avalanche could surface following Wednesday's morning skate.
