Simmonds is out due to lower body injury

Unfortunately already without three forwards, the Kings will be without second-year forward Wayne Simmonds for an unknown length of time due to a lower body injury. He is out for at least tonight's Pacific Division play with the Dallas Stars.
Brad Richardson will replace Simmonds, who has never missed a game in 115-game career in his los angeles kings jersey.

"You know what, we really don’t know what happened," head coach Terry Murray said. "It did not happen in the game, no specific time or situation, he's just got a lower body injury. He is going to be out for a while. He is going to see our doctors tonight at the game and we will take it from there."

Modano and Lehtinen are activated by Dallas Stars

The Dallas Stars announced that the club has activated center Mike Modano and right wing Jere Lehtinen from injured list. Modano has missed 13 games due to a rib injury that he suffered in the Stars’ season opener game against the Nashville Predators. So far he has recorded two penalty minutes in one game this season in his dallas stars jersey.Modano is the highest scoring American-born player and holds every major Stars franchise scoring record. He has played in 1,401 career NHL games all with the Stars, collecting 543 goals and 786 assists in 20 seasons.

Lehtinen has missed the last nine games with abdominal injury. He has played in two games for Stars this season, only collecting one assist and four shots. He also missed the first three games of the 2009-10 game with a groin injury.
