Los Angeles Kings captain Anze Kopitar has a significant foot injury that could sideline him for the near future.
The Kings announced that Kopitar is "week to week" on Friday, a day after he missed Los Angeles' 4-2 loss to Pittsburgh.
Kopitar was hit in the foot by a deflected puck during Los Angeles' shootout loss at Minnesota on Monday. After saying Kopitar's availability would be a game-time decision for their meeting with the Penguins, the Kings have acknowledged the injury could be more significant.
