The Los Angeles Kings fourth-most expensive forward will take Tuesday night's game in from the press box.
Marian Gaborik will serve as a healthy scratch when the Kings tangle with the Edmonton Oilers.
"Hey, it's been hard for Gabby." Referenced him coming back from injury multiple times. "It's not easy for a guy who's 24, let alone 34."

The 35-year-old has had a dismal campaign having managed just 10 goals and 19 points in 51 games - the lowest marks of career in a season where he has played at least 50 games.
Of course Gaborik's poor play hurts the most for the Kings financially as he remains under contract for the next four seasons with a cap hit of $4.875 million.
