Sopel and Tverdovsky activated

Brent Sopel and Oleg "Old Leg" Tverdovsky are ready to come back to the Kings lineup as soon as tonight. They have been activated to the current roster, while defensman Peter Harrold has been sent back to the AHL affiliate - Manchester Monarchs:

Tverdovsky, who sat out 12 games because of a groin injury, said he has been ready for the last week, but "they wanted to be careful because I already had one setback."

Sopel, who sat out 16 games because of broken bones in his ankle and hand, also said he has been ready to play, but had been taking a cautious approach.

The days of rotating Dallman, Weaver and Harrold seem to be over for now. Dallman takes the final spot with Tverdovsky, Sopel joins Matty Norstrom, while Weaver rides the pine.
