Wednesday Game Notes
LA Kings at Pittsburg.................................
Word is Lemieux will play, but his hip is hurt just as bad as ever. He's on painkillers, "you can't keep doing that stuff forever", he is quoted here.....http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/news/ap...ns-lemieux.html
Marty Straka returns after a four month absence. He will skate in first line with Lemieux and Morozov.

LA is 22-38-10 all time at Mellon Arena, but 3-0-2 last five.
These teams meet once more this season, March 16 in LA.
I assume Storr will start in goal for LA. Potvin did tues, and he has never started consecutive nights yet this season.
