Dustin Penner, who missed Saturday's game due to back spasms, was feeling significantly better on Monday. Penner apparently suffered the injury while leaning in eat pancakes. Although Penner appears to have made progress on Monday, Kings coach Darryl Sutter erred on the side of caution with his statement. "I don't know, if we were playing tonight, that he would play, but hopefully he keeps making improvement," Sutter said. "It's back spasms, so there's really no way to gauge that. It didn't happen until yesterday morning, so there's no way of telling. Like he said, he's never had it before." Consider him questionable for Monday's game.
