Hanzal (personal) joined the team in Los Angeles and looks ready to play Saturday against the Kings, Sarah McLellan of the Arizona Republic reports.

Analysis:

After Hanzal missed Friday's practice to await the birth of his child, coach Dave Tippett said that the forward would be back in the lineup Saturday if he were able to rejoin the team in time. Assuming Tippett's word still holds, look for Hanzal to center a second line that includes Tobias Rieder and Sam Gagner.
