Muzzin (upper body) returned to the ice Tuesday, Jon Rosen of LA Kings Insider reports.

Analysis:

Muzzin, who is currently dealing with an upper-body injury, skated with the healthy scratches ahead of L.A.'s Tuesday night exhibition. The ailment doesn't seem to be particularly serious, but the Kings may opt to hold the veteran defender out until their Oct. 7 regular-season opener as a precautionary measure.
