EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Los Angeles Kings captain Anze Kopitar has a significant foot injury that could sideline him for the near future.
The Kings announced Friday that Kopitar is week-to-week after he missed their 4-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday.
Kopitar was hit in the foot by a deflected puck during the Kings' shootout loss at the Minnesota Wild on Monday.
He is beginning his 20th and final season in an NHL career spent entirely with the Kings. The Slovenian center announced his impending retirement last month at the start of training camp.
