Clifford (upper body) has been officially activated from injured reserve and is expected to rejoin the lineup Thursday against the Ducks, Jon Rosen of LA Kings Insider reports.

EDGE Analysis

Clifford has been sidelined since mid-December with the upper-body injury, but a recent conditioning stint indicated that he was on the cusp of rejoining the lineup. It appears that return will come Thursday, barring something unforeseen, and the 25-year-old winger is expected to slot in alongside Nick Shore and Tanner Pearson after taking morning rushes with them.
