Clifford (upper body) was recalled from his conditioning stint with AHL Ontario on Sunday.

Analysis:

Clifford's upper-body injury has kept him sidelined since early December, but his recall from the conditioning stint could indicate he'll be ready to rejoin the lineup Tuesday for the team's first game after the All-Star break. If that's the case, the Kings would need to activate him from injured reserve beforehand.
