Ehrhoff (neck) suited up for Monday's game against the Blackhawks, according to Rich Hammond of the Orange County Register.

EDGE Analysis

Ehrhoff left the Kings' last game Saturday with the injury, but he was able to return to action Monday night. After failing to tally a point in the Kings' first five games of the season, Ehrhoff notched three assists in the five games leading up to Monday's contest.

Ehrhoff practiced Sunday and expects to play Monday against Chicago, LA Kings Insider Jon Rosen reports.

EDGE Analysis

After dealing with multiple injuries since leaving Vancouver following the 2010-11 season, Ehrhoff has yet to replicate his offensive production as a Canuck. However, with his big shot from the point, Ehrhoff continues to average 2:39 of power play time on ice per game, maintaining the possibility for him to score around 30 points this season.

Ehrhoff exited Saturday's game against the Predators with an upper-body injury and is not expected to return, Jon Rosen of LA Kings Insider reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ehrhoff suffered the injury after taking a hard, and somewhat questionable, hit from Nashville's Mike Ribeiro behind the net. The Kings should provide an update on the blueliner's status once they have an opportunity to evaluate him further, but his status for Monday's tilt against the Blackhawks is up in the air at this point in time.

Ehroff missed all 11 of his shots and has a minus-5 rating to show so far for the Kings since the beginning of the 2015-16 season.

EDGE Analysis

During the free agency period in the offseason, Ehroff left Pittsburgh to join the Kings. This change of pace may explain why he's been unproductive this season, but the defenseman is averaging 18 minutes on ice since the start of the season, which is plenty of time to show his worth. However, it's still early and Ehroff is a solid player with potential to improve in the season ahead.

Free-agent defenseman Christian Ehrhoff signed a one-year, $1.5 million contract with the Los Angeles Kings on Sunday, according to the Orange County Register. Ehrhoff, who made $4.5 million with the Pittsburgh Penguins last season, appeared in only 49 games due to injury.

Ehrhoff admitted Sunday that it was a concussion that had sidelined him since March 24, NHL.com's Wes Crosby reports. Ehrhoff appeared to be trending toward a return from the head injury during the Penguins' first-round playoff series with the Rangers, but those plans were halted after he recently endured a setback in his recovery. The blueliner has said that he suffered multiple concussions during the season, so it sounds like he'll plan on taking it easy over the summer in an attempt to the start of next season. Ehrhoff will become an unrestricted free agent in July.

Ehrhoff (upper body) did not participate in Monday's morning skate, Dave Molinari of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. While the Penguins' lineup for Monday's Game 3 against the Rangers hasn't been finalized, the report relays via coach Mike Johnston that Ehrhoff "just hasn't been progressing," which suggests that the blueliner can be effectively ruled out for the contest.

Ehrhoff will not play on Saturday in Game 2 of the Penguins' playoff series against the Rangers. Ehrhoff was able to participate in the Penguins' morning skate on Saturday, but still isn't quite ready to make his return to the Pens' lineup. His next chance to suit up will come on Monday.

Ehrhoff (upper body) participated in the Penguins morning skate on Saturday, Seth Rorabaugh of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports. Ehrhoff is still questionable to play in Game 2, but the fact that he was able to participate in the Penguin's morning skate indicates that he has a legitimate shot of returning to Pittsburgh's lineup on Saturday. The team will provide an update on his status prior to puck drop on Saturday.

Ehrhoff (upper body) remains day-to-day in advance of Game 2 against the Rangers, Katie Strang of ESPN reports. Both Ehrhoff and Derrick Pouliot are questionable to play in Game 2 on Saturday, as the team did not provide an update on their respective statuses Friday. Look for more information following Saturday's morning skate.
