Kings' Anze Kopitar: Has day-to-day injury tag

Kopitar (upper body) is considered day-to-day, Jon Rosen of LA Kings Insider reports.

Analysis:

Kopitar was injured late in Friday's game upon taking a hit from Senators defenseman Marc Methot, which ended Kopitar's night after 17:55 of ice time. We're talking about a player with a $10 million average annual value on his contract, so you can bet your bottom dollar that the Kings will take the cautious approach with Kopitar regarding his ailment. His next chance to return will be Sunday for a road game against the Jets, though that seems like a long shot at this point.
