The Los Angeles Kings were dealt a huge blow Thursday against the St. Louis Blues, as Anze Kopitar left the game late in the first period and didn't return due to a lower-body injury.
There was no update on Kopitar's status after the game, but a minor one came Friday morning:
The 28-year-old leads the Kings with 51 points in 56 games, recording an impressive 29 points over his last 23 games.
