Per John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio, Copley (knee) underwent successful ACL surgery earlier in the week and will be lost for the season.
EDGE Analysis
Copley was injured three weeks ago during practice and was replaced on the roster by David Rittich. Copley was 4-1-2 with a 3.16 GAA and an .870 save percentage, losing his No. 1 job to Cam Talbot early in the season. Copley was outstanding last season, going 24-6-3 with a 2.64 GAA and a .903 save percentage, leading the Kings into the playoffs after Jonathan Quick was unable to hold down the top job. Copley is expected to be ready for the start of training camp and will be looking for a new contract as he is slated to be a UFA at the end of the season.

Copley (undisclosed) was put on long-term injured reserve Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Copley, who was injured during practice Friday, will be out for at least 10 games and 24 days following his placement on LTIR. He has posted a 4-1-2 record this season with a 3.16 GAA and an .870 save percentage in eight appearances. David Rittich will serve as Cam Talbot's backup during Copley's absence.

Copley (undisclosed) didn't travel with the Kings to Seattle and will consequently miss Saturday's road game against the Kraken, Zach Dooley of LA Kings Insider reports.
EDGE Analysis
Copley sustained the injury during Friday's practice. He has a 4-1-2 record, 3.17 GAA and .870 save percentage in eight contests this season. David Rittich was summoned from AHL Ontario on Friday and is projected to back up Cam Talbot on Saturday, though LA's starter hasn't been confirmed. There's no timetable for Copley's return, but given that he isn't traveling with the team, he will likely also miss Tuesday's game in San Jose. The Kings will then return home to host the Kraken on Wednesday.

Copley suffered an undisclosed injury at practice Friday and needed to be helped off the ice, Russell Morgan of Hockey Royalty reports.
EDGE Analysis
Based on the Kings' goalie rotation, Copley was unlikely to play against Seattle on Saturday anyway, but his injury could force the Kings to bring David Rittich up from the minors to backup Cam Talbot. Still, the team has a back-to-back coming up Tuesday and Wednesday versus the Sharks and Kraken, respectively, which could be complicated if Copley can't play.

Copley will get the starting nod for Sunday's road game against the Rangers, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Copley has won three straight games, allowing just four goals on 78 shots during that stretch. That includes an 18-save shutout against Montreal and a 26-save win over Columbus in his last outing. On the year, Copley is 4-0-2 despite a lackluster 3.03 GAA and .873 save percentage.

Copley made 26 saves in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
The Kings were staring at a 3-0 deficit through two periods, but Copley came up with a couple big stops in the third as his team rallied. The 31-year-old has yet to take a regulation loss this season, going 4-0-2 despite a 3.03 GAA and .873 save percentage, but his recent play has been much better -- Copley has a .918 save percentage in four starts since the beginning of November, and he's beginning to cut into Cam Talbot's playing time as a result.

Copley is slated to defend the road cage versus Columbus on Tuesday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Copley remains undefeated in regulation this season, posting a 3-0-2 record with a 3.04 GAA, .868 save percentage and one shutout in six appearances. Despite putting up 24 wins in 37 games last year, the Alaskan netminder is struggling to secure regular starts and finds himself firmly cemented in the No. 2 role behind Cam Talbot.

Copley made 18 saves in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
The Kings out-shot the visitors 30-18 on the afternoon and dominated play, and Copley was rarely tested as he picked up his first shutout of the season and the third of his career. The 31-year-old netminder has yet to lose in regulation this season, going 3-0-2 in six appearances, but his 3.04 GAA and .868 save percentage aren't making a strong case to cut into Cam Talbot's workload.

Copley will patrol the home crease Saturday against Montreal, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
