Kings Coach Darryl Sutter glanced at the less-than-optimal ice on Tuesday morning at the team’s training facility in El Segundo.
“It looks like ice, but it’s not ice,” Sutter said.
A long power outage at Toyota Sports Center, which started Monday afternoon, meant some game-day adjustments.
Although the power was restored on another unseasonably warm morning in El Segundo, the Kings, who play the Vancouver Canucks at 7:30 at Staples Center on Tuesday night, opted to skip their morning skate.
There was a reason.
“The power was out before we left yesterday,” Sutter said.
