Leipsic (lower body) won't be in the lineup against Anaheim on Saturday, Curtis Zupke of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Leipsic could also miss out on the club's upcoming back-to-back Monday and Tuesday versus Calgary and Edmonton, respectively, considering coach Willie Desjardins was less than specific on the winger's recovery timeline. In the meantime, Jonny Brodzinski figures to slot back into the lineup in Leipsic's stead.

Leipsic (lower body) won't return to Thursday's game against San Jose.
EDGE Analysis
The severity of Leipsic's injury has yet to be determined, but he should probably be considered questionable at best for Saturday's game against Anaheim at this point. If Leipsic is unable to go, Jonny Brodzinski or Ilya Kovalchuk will draw into the lineup against the Ducks.

Leipsic was a healthy scratch for Sunday's win over the Ducks, Curtis Zupke of The Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kings coach Willie Desjardins cited Leipsic's play in the defensive zone as a reason for the benching, as he instead went with 11 forwards and seven defensemen for this game. Leipsic has 16 points in 41 games with the Kings since getting claimed off waivers from the Canucks earlier in the season.

Leipsic scored a power-play goal in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Stars.
EDGE Analysis
The tally was his fifth of the season. He has 19 points this year, split between the Kings and the Canucks. He's accumulated modest totals of 82 shots, 24 blocked shots and 44 hits in 54 contests, which combines with the Kings' 30th ranked offense (2.34 goals per game) to hinder his fantasy value.

Leipsic notched a goal in Saturday's win over the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Since joining the Kings off waivers, Leipsic has tallied two goals, four assists and 29 shots in 19 appearances. With his new club, the winger is averaging 14:13 of ice time compared to 12:50 when he was with the Canucks and should see more opportunities to write his name on the scoresheet.

Leipsic was snagged off waivers by the Kings on Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Leipsic will join a Los Angeles team that sits tied for last in the NHL with 21 points. The 24-year-old managed just two goals and five points 17 games with Vancouver before falling victim to the numbers game. He'll benefit from a fresh start with the rebuilding Kings.

The Canucks waived Leipsic on Sunday, Satiar Shah of Sportsnet 650 reports.
EDGE Analysis
Leipsic has worked in the bottom six with power-play responsibilities, and he had five points and a minus-10 rating in 17 games with the big club. Jay Beagle is closing in on a return, so Leipsic's spot in the lineup was expendable. If he clears waivers, Leipsic will head to AHL Utica.

Leipsic picked up a goal and assist in Tuesday's loss to the Islanders.
EDGE Analysis
This is Leipsic's first multi-point game since last March, in a game also against the Islanders oddly enough. He was moved up to Bo Horvat's line, and could see an uptick in production as a result. However, he had just three points on the year prior to Tuesday, so his offensive abilities are limited.

Leipsic notched an assist in Thursday's showdown in Boston.
EDGE Analysis
It was only Leipsic's third point on the year, and his first in three weeks. He hasn't been a regular in the lineup though, playing in just eight of Vancouver's 17 games. He's shown flashes of skill in those games, but hasn't quite put all the pieces together. Until he does that, he can't be trusted as a reliable producer.

Leipsic scored what turned out to be the game-winning goal in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Leipsic tallied Vancouver's third goal of the game, putting them up 3-0 with the snipe. The Flames would only manage two goals Wednesday, giving Leipsic GWG honors as a result. The 24-year-old figures to get a fair shot to earn ice-time in Vancouver, considering the team is in the midst of a rebuild.
