Kings' Marian Gaborik: Taken off IR, game-time call Saturday
Gaborik (foot) was activated from injured reserve ahead of Saturday's game against the Blackhawks, Jon Rosen of LA Kings Insider reports.
Analysis:
Gaborik's status for the upcoming contest reportedly will be decided in pregame warm-ups. Of course, even if he plays, that nine-week layoff since his last game in the World Cup of Hockey likely means the veteran has some rust to shake off. It's best to take a wait-and-see approach with the oft-injured Czech.
