Kings' Garret Sparks: In goal Thursday

Sparks is expected to start Thursday's home preseason game versus the Golden Knights, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports.

Sparks is expected to be the No. 3 goalie for the Kings this year, making it likely he spends most of the season with AHL Ontario. The 28-year-old will be backed up by veteran Jonathan Quick in Thursday's contest.
