Adrian Kempe is expected to take on a larger role for the Los Angeles Kings tonight, when they face the Colorado Avalanche. Kempe is likely to play on the Kings’ top line alongside Anze Kopitar and Alex Iafallo, according to Zach Dooley of LA Kings Insider.
Adrian Kempe doesn't approach things differently playing with Kopitar/Iafallo as opposed to another line. He's there to play his own game first.

Also feels there is a comfort level there already, as the three all play together on the top power-play unit.
The line of Andreas Athanasiou, Blake Lizotte and Jeff Carter is expected to stay together, while Dustin Brown could be playing with Lias Andersson and Gabriel Vilardi, according to Dooley.
