Kings coach Darryl Sutter isn't ready to commit to Willie Mitchell (knee) playing in the season opener. Mitchell participated in his second preseason game on Tuesday. "I think he had a really good game one, and he probably I would say he had a tougher time tonight," Sutter said. "He's 36-years-old and he's missed 15 months of hockey, and the second game is always your toughest one." Mitchell had a plus-one rating in 21:12 minutes of ice time in a 2-1 victory over Anaheim.
