NASHVILLE - Jeff Halpern and Fredrik Modin, combined, have played more than 1,500 NHL games. Modin has lifted the Stanley Cup. Both have played high-level international hockey. It’s unlikely that either will be bragging about any of this.

Halpern and Modin, acquired by the Kings in separate trades Wednesday, joined their new teammates today and are expected to play tonight against Nashville as part of a new-look fourth line with rookie winger Scott Parse.

Halpern came over from Tampa Bay, in exchange for Teddy Purcell and a third-round pick, while Modin came from Columbus for a conditional seventh-round pick.
