Kings' Nick Shore: Back in action Wednesday

Shore (upper body) will return to the Kings' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Flames, Jon Rosen of LA Kings Insider reports.

Analysis:

Shore has missed LA's last 11 games due to an upper-body injury, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him eased back into action against Calgary. He'll slot into a bottom-six role against the Flames, centering Dustin Brown and Tyler Toffoli on the third line. The American forward has only notched 12 points (five goals, seven assists) in 63 games with the Kings this season, so he isn't a practical fantasy option in most formats.
