The injury saga has dogged the Kings in ruthless fashion into November.
They could be without one of the NHL’s best players, team captain Anze Kopitar, for Sunday’s game against the Winnipeg Jets. Kings Coach Darryl Sutter called Kopitar “day-to-day,” and it is clear they won’t take any chances with the star center who was injured Friday in Ottawa. He appeared to be injured in the arm-wrist area after incidental contact along the boards in the third period.
One option is to have Trevor Lewis take Kopitar’s spot on the top line.
