The circumstances are particularly meaningful for Penguins forward Blake Lizotte, who started his NHL career with the Kings and had 106 points (37 goals, 69 assists) in 320 games for them.

Wednesday night's game between the Los Angeles Kings and visiting Calgary Flames has been postponed due to ongoing wildfires in the Los Angeles area.
