EDGE Analysis

There's been no word yet from the Kings on the severity of the injury, or how much additional time he might miss. Lemieux is a valuable physical presence in the bottom six with 86 PIM and 108 hits through 44 games, but the 25-year-old has only eight goals and 11 points on the season.
