Kopitar logged an assist in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
This was Kopitar's first point in four games since he returned from a lower-body injury that sidelined him for 11 contests. The 38-year-old has resumed his top-six role, but his farewell season continues to be lacking in production. He's now at 22 points, 51 shots on net, 37 blocked shots, 22 hits and a plus-12 rating over 41 appearances. He's never finished a season below the 40-point mark, but he's at risk of doing that in 2025-26.

Kopitar (lower body) was activated off injured reserve Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The injury cost Kopitar 11 games in what could be his last season in the NHL. The 38-year-old will likely return to his roles on the first line and top power-play unit. He had six goals and 15 assists in 37 outings before his injury. To make room for Kopitar, the Kings placed Alex Turcotte (upper body) on injured reserve in a corresponding move.

Kopitar (lower body) didn't skate with the Kings on Thursday, but he will join the team for their upcoming six-game road trip, Dennis Bernstein of The Fourth Period reports.
EDGE Analysis
Given that Kopitar isn't skating with the team yet, he probably won't be ready to return when the road trip starts Saturday in St. Louis, but he might be an option later in the trip. He hasn't been in the lineup since Jan. 5. Kopitar has six goals and 21 points in 37 outings in 2025-26.

Kopitar (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, per the NHL media site.
EDGE Analysis
The Kings activated Corey Perry (personal) from non-roster status in a corresponding move. Kopitar will miss his third straight game against Edmonton on Saturday and won't be eligible to play against Dallas on Monday. However, it remains unclear when he will be ready to return to the lineup. He has collected six goals, 21 points, 49 shots on net, 34 blocked shots and 19 hits in 37 appearances this season.

EDGE Analysis

Kopitar (lower body) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Sharks, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kopitar suffered a lower-body injury during Monday's game against the Wild. While he's considered day-to-day and isn't believed to be facing a long-term absence, he'll be forced to miss at least one game due to the issue. His next opportunity to suit up will be Friday in Winnipeg, but it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to return for that matchup.

Kopitar (lower body) is day-to-day, per Dennis Bernstein of The Fourth Period on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Kopitar sustained his lower-body injury Monday against the Wild and was ruled out by the team during the middle frame. The Kings play Wednesday at home versus San Jose, and the team will likely not rush Kopitar back into the lineup if he's anything less than 100 percent healthy, given that he's 38 years old. The Kings are already thin up the middle, so a center may be recalled from AHL Ontario if Kopitar is unable to suit up Wednesday.

Kopitar has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's matchup against the Wild due to a lower-body injury.
EDGE Analysis
Kopitar didn't come out for the start of the second period after logging 4:54 of ice time in the first. The veteran center should be considered day-to-day ahead of Wednesday's home divisional contest against the Sharks.

Kopitar notched three assists and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Kopitar had secondary helpers on all three goals of Alex Laferriere's hat trick. This was Kopitar's first multi-point effort since Nov. 20 versus the Sharks. The 38-year-old center is up to six goals, 14 assists, 48 shots on net, 28 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating over 33 appearances this season. He remains in a top-six role, but he's likely set for one of the lower-scoring campaigns of his prolific career.

Kopitar scored a goal, fired three shots on net and dished out two hits in Monday's 4-2 win over Utah.
EDGE Analysis
Kopitar tallied the go-ahead goal under four minutes into the final period of play. With the twine finder, Kopitar has six goals, nine assists, 42 shots on goal and 21 blocks through 25 games this season. The 38-year-old center has four goals in his last 10 games and is heating up offensively. While his numbers aren't on pace to match his point output from the past few seasons, he scores with enough consistency to give him fantasy relevance in nearly all formats. Kopitar is seven tallies away from 1,300 points, which is a milestone he should comfortably hit before retiring at the end of this season.
