Kings' Anze Kopitar: Unavailable Saturday

Kopitar (upper body) isn't on the ice for pregame warmups, indicating he won't play Saturday against the Devils, The Fourth Period's Dennis Bernstein reports.

Analysis:

The standout two-way forward has now missed four consecutive games due to injury, and he remains without a clear-cut timetable for his return to the Kings' lineup. Jeff Carter will continue to skate on LA's top line while Kopitar is sidelined. At this juncture, Kopitar's status for Sunday's matchup with the Ducks appears iffy at best.
