PLAYER NEWS

Kings Kyle Clifford (LA - Left Wing) News: Clifford (undisclosed) practiced Friday but has not been cleared for contact, the Los Angeles Times reports. [+] Impact: Clifford's working towards a return but he'll need to be cleared for contact first. (RotoWire - Sat. May 18, 2013) Anze Kopitar (LA - Center) News: Kopitar won't allow a puck to the face to keep him out of the Los Angeles Kings' title defense. Kopitar missed only a few minutes of the Kings' 4-3 victory over the San Jose Sharks on Thursday night after a third-period shot by teammate Dustin Brown hit him in the left side of his face above his upper lip. [+] Impact: After roughly 20 stitches and an uncomfortable night of sleep, Kopitar returned to practice at the Kings' training complex on Friday. He says he's ready to play in Game 3 on Saturday night at the Shark Tank. (STATS - Fri. May 17, 2013) Jarret Stoll (LA - Center) News: Stoll has an undisclosed injury for the Kings. [+] Impact: Stoll's injury has not been disclosed so the Stanley Cup champs are very tight-lipped about what is going on. (STATS - Fri. May 17, 2013)

Red Wings Drew Miller (DET - Left Wing) News: Miller (hand) will play in Game 2 against Chicago on Saturday, Detroit News writer John Niyo reports. [+] Impact: Miller will displace Todd Bertuzzi from the rotation, giving Detroit a bit more burst on the fourth line. (RotoWire - Sat. May 18, 2013) Todd Bertuzzi (DET - Right Wing) News: Bertuzzi will not play in Game 2 against Chicago on Saturday, Detroit News writer John Niyo reports. [+] Impact: Bertuzzi lands on the bench due to the return of Drew Miller, who had been sitting due to a hand injury. (RotoWire - Sat. May 18, 2013) Drew Miller (DET - Left Wing) News: Miller (hand) has been cleared to play, NHL.com's Brian Hedger reports. [+] Impact: It's not clear whether Miller will play in Saturday's Game 2 against Chicago, but coach Mike Babcock previously implied that Miller would play once medically cleared. We'll watch for confirmation on that. (RotoWire - Sat. May 18, 2013)
