Clifford (upper body) was placed on the injured reserve list Monday, retroactive to Dec. 6, Jon Rosen of LA Kings Insider reports.

EDGE Analysis

Clifford has missed the past three games with an upper-body injury and now it appears he'll miss additional time off the ice until the team denotes otherwise. In his absence, Derek Forbort and Andy Andreoff could be in store for more playing time at left wing.
