Turcotte (undisclosed) will be activated from injured reserve ahead of his return to the lineup against Pittsburgh on Saturday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

After missing the last 11 games, Turcotte will occupy a bottom-six role and could see time with the second power-play combination against the Penguins on Saturday. He has collected one assist, one shot on net, one blocked shot and four hits in three appearances this season.
