Budaj's in line to start Saturday night against the visiting Flames, the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jon Rosen of LA Kings Insider separately reports that Budaj was the first goalie to leave the ice following the morning skate Saturday, which further plays to the idea that he'll be the one to lead his team out for warmups and field shots from the Flames in the upcoming contest. Budaj owns a 5-3-0 record to go along with a 2.31 GAA and .902 save percentage -- those numbers don't jump off the page, but are decent coming from a guy who made just one appearance with the parent club in 2015-16.
