  EL SEGUNDO — Kings forward Nate Thompson was finished practicing Tuesday. He sat at his locker, taking off his skates. A nice, engaging sort, Thompson seemed a bit down.
  That’s understandable.
  Over the summer, Thompson converted to Judaism ahead of marrying his wife Sydney, who is Jewish. He was among many horrified when, this past Saturday, a gunman opened fire at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, killing 11 people and injuring six.
