Kings' Anze Kopitar: Shifts to injured reserve
Kopitar (foot) was moved to injured reserve Tuesday, per the NHL media site.
Kopitar is still considered week-to-week, so his placement on injured reserve shouldn't come as a surprise. While the veteran center is sidelined, Alex Laferriere looks poised to fill the first-line center role, while Quinton Byfield also sees top-six minutes.

Kings' Anze Kopitar: Deemed week-to-week
Kopitar is considered week-to-week due to a foot injury, the team announced Friday.
Kopitar, who missed Wednesday's practice, was regarded as a game-time decision Thursday versus Pittsburgh, but it seems the injury is worse than initially thought. Given Kopitar's new timetable, he'll likely miss at least the Kings' next three games -- Saturday versus Columbus, Tuesday in St. Louis and next Thursday in Dallas. Phillip Danault is projected to serve on the first line during Kopitar's absence.

Kings' Anze Kopitar: Entering final season
Kopitar announced Thursday that the 2025-26 season will be his last in the NHL, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
Kopitar will head into his 20th and final season when this campaign kicks off. The Slovenian center leads the franchise in games played (1,454) and assists (838) and is also the most prominent hockey player from his country. He is also a two-time Stanley Cup Champion, a five-time All-Star and has won the Selke Trophy twice and the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy three times. Kopitar figures to push for 20-plus goals and approximately 70 points in 2025-26 as he looks to go out on a high note as one of the best two-way centers of his generation.

Kings' Anze Kopitar: Scores in season-ending loss
Kopitar scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Oilers in Game 6.
Kopitar tallied with 55 seconds left in the third period to bring the Kings within one, but the Oilers held them at bay. Kopitar was not the problem this postseason, putting up two goals, seven assists, eight shots on net, eight hits, six blocked shots and a minus-6 rating over six outings. The 37-year-old center is entering the final year of his contract in 2025-26. While his surface numbers were excellent in 2024-25 with 21 goals and 67 points over 81 regular-season outings, a significant decline in shot volume (98) and a career-high shooting percentage (21.4) raise red flags for regression on offense even if he remains an elite defensive center.

Kings' Anze Kopitar: Delivers power-play assist
Kopitar notched a power-play assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 5.
Kopitar set up Andrei Kuzmenko's tally at 3:33 of the second period, which opened the scoring. The 37-year-old Kopitar is leading by example on offense with a goal and seven assists over five playoff contests, but he's also taken a minus-5 rating while adding six shots on net, six hits and six blocked shots. The center will continue to see time on the top line and first power-play unit as he tries to help the Kings bounce back in a must-win Game 6 on Thursday in Edmonton.

Kings' Anze Kopitar: Provides two helpers in loss
Kopitar notched two assists, two shots on goal, four blocked shots and a minus-4 rating in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Oilers in Game 3.
Kopitar is up to one goal and six assists over three playoff outings. While his offense has been strong -- three of his seven points have come on the power -- the center is also sporting a minus-4 rating in the postseason. This was also his first time in five games logging multiple shots on net. The 37-year-old center should be fine as a playmaker on the first line and on the power play, but he may struggle to score goals if he can't increase his shot volume.

Kings' Anze Kopitar: Racks up four points in win
Kopitar scored a power-play goal and distributed three assists in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Oilers in Game 2.
One of Kopitar's helpers also came on the power play. The center has five points, two hits, two blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over the first two games of the postseason. Kopitar and Adrian Kempe have been playing at an elite level together for much of the year, and the addition of Andrei Kuzmenko has only strengthened the Kings' top line. Kopitar may have to do a bit more defensive work with the series shifting to Edmonton for the next two games.

Kings' Anze Kopitar: Slated to play Thursday

Kopitar took Tuesday's 6-5 win over Seattle off to rest for the playoffs. He has 21 goals and 67 points over 80 appearances in 2024-25. Kopitar will likely serve on the top line and first power-play unit in his return.

Kings' Anze Kopitar: Not playing Tuesday
Kopitar will not be in the lineup versus the Kraken on Tuesday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
This looks like rest for a veteran now that the Kings have secured the No. 2 spot in the Pacific Division. Kopitar has racked up 67 points over 80 contests this season, including three goals and four assists over seven games in April. He could return for Thursday's regular-season finale versus the Flames.

Kings' Anze Kopitar: Provides two helpers Monday
Kopitar notched two assists in Monday's 5-0 win over the Oilers.
Kopitar has two goals and three assists over his last three contests. The 37-year-old helped out on the Kings' last two goals in this game, scored by Kevin Fiala and Adrian Kempe. Kopitar is up to 21 goals, 46 assists, 98 shots on net, 66 blocked shots and a plus-17 rating over 80 appearances. With the depth of the Kings' offense, Kopitar may see more of a shutdown role in the playoffs, though he should still be able to chip in offense, especially when the Oilers are not expected to be at full strength on defense in the first round.
