Anze Kopitar: Doubtful Saturday

Kopitar (lower body) missed morning skate Saturday and is not expected to play in the evening's game against the Predators, Jon Rosen of LA Kings Insider reports.

Analysis:

Kopitar hasn't officially been ruled out for the contest, but he's a risky fantasy play after missing morning skate. If Kopitar sits out his first game of the season, as expected, look for Jeff Carter to jump to the top line with Milan Lucic and Tyler Toffoli. New recall Michael Mersch should also draw into the lineup and round out the fourth line.
