Update -- The winner creeps out of last place in the Pacific Division. Erik Ersberg will make his fourth consecutive start in goal for the Kings. He is 2-0-1 in the previous three games. Defenseman Jack Johnson (shoulder surgery) skated for about 20 minutes Monday. The Stars could have forward Jere Lehtinen in the lineup for the first time this season. He has been out with a groin injury. Goaltender Marty Turco, one of the NHL’s best, has struggled all season. He has a 4.11 goals-against average. Turco turned the puck over to give the San Jose Sharks their game-winning goal with 29 seconds left in a 2-1 loss Saturday.

-- Chris Foster
