Andreas Englund and Caleb Jones
Let's start with the defense as the Kings currently have eight defensemen currently on the roster. The top three lines are set with Mikey Anderson and Jordan Spence, Vladislav Gavrikov and Sean Burroughs, and finally Joel Edmundson and Brandt Clarke.
This leaves Andreas Englund and Caleb Jones as the final two defensemen on the roster. While the two are currently on the same line they could find themselves competing for only one spot if the Kings stick with seven to begin the season.
Both have experience at the NHL level with Jones playing in 242 games over six seasons while Englund has played in 162 over the same time period. However, Englund did appear in ever regular season game last season for the Kings.
Could that experience be the deciding factor in Englund's favor if the Kings need to cut one player? It will be worth watching on Saturday night.
