Los Angeles Kings coach Darryl Sutter wouldn't confirm if Kyle Clifford will be in the lineup for Tuesday's Game 4.

We didn't expect Sutter to reveal anything about his lineup until he absolutely has to minutes before the puck drops. However, Clifford said Monday he was ready to return and both team's beat writers seem to believe he'll be in the lineup Tuesday night. Stay tuned.

To update an earlier post, Kyle Clifford expects to play in Game 4 Tuesday night.

"It definitely looks that way," Clifford said after practice Monday. "It feels good to get back in the lineup. Playing with those guys, it's going to be a lot of fun." He skated on the fourth line with Brad Richardson and Colin Fraser during Monday's session. Rookie forward Tanner Pearson would likely draw out of the lineup to make room for Clifford's return.

After previously practicing with a no-contact jersey, Kyle Clifford practiced normally for the Los Angeles Kings on Sunday.

Or at least he's not wearing that specific sweater while skating, indicating there's at least been a little bit of progress for Clifford. The Kings still aren't sharing what, exactly, is bothering him.
