Copley was recalled on an emergency basis from AHL Ontario on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Copley was sent to the minors ahead of the regular season, but he'll rejoin the NHL club since Darcy Kuemper (lower body) is considered day-to-day. David Rittich will start in the road net against the Maple Leafs on Wednesday, but it's possible that Copley starts Thursday's road matchup against Montreal.

Copley was placed on waivers Sunday for assignment to AHL Ontario.
EDGE Analysis
Copley posted a 6-4-1 record with a 2.48 GAA and a .913 save percentage in 11 minor-league outings during the 2023-24 regular season. His year was cut short due to ACL surgery, but he is healthy now and poised to spend most of the 2024-25 campaign in the minors.

Copley (knee) signed a one-year, $825,000 contract with the Kings on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Copley had a 4-1-2 record, 3.17 GAA and .870 save percentage in eight appearances with LA in 2023-24. He underwent ACL surgery in January and missed the remainder of the season and the playoffs as a result. Copley is likely to be ready for the start of training camp and will probably begin 2024-25 in the minors while Darcy Kuemper and David Rittich handle the NHL goaltending duties.

Per John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio, Copley (knee) underwent successful ACL surgery earlier in the week and will be lost for the season.
EDGE Analysis
Copley was injured three weeks ago during practice and was replaced on the roster by David Rittich. Copley was 4-1-2 with a 3.16 GAA and an .870 save percentage, losing his No. 1 job to Cam Talbot early in the season. Copley was outstanding last season, going 24-6-3 with a 2.64 GAA and a .903 save percentage, leading the Kings into the playoffs after Jonathan Quick was unable to hold down the top job. Copley is expected to be ready for the start of training camp and will be looking for a new contract as he is slated to be a UFA at the end of the season.

Copley (undisclosed) was put on long-term injured reserve Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Copley, who was injured during practice Friday, will be out for at least 10 games and 24 days following his placement on LTIR. He has posted a 4-1-2 record this season with a 3.16 GAA and an .870 save percentage in eight appearances. David Rittich will serve as Cam Talbot's backup during Copley's absence.

Copley (undisclosed) didn't travel with the Kings to Seattle and will consequently miss Saturday's road game against the Kraken, Zach Dooley of LA Kings Insider reports.
EDGE Analysis
Copley sustained the injury during Friday's practice. He has a 4-1-2 record, 3.17 GAA and .870 save percentage in eight contests this season. David Rittich was summoned from AHL Ontario on Friday and is projected to back up Cam Talbot on Saturday, though LA's starter hasn't been confirmed. There's no timetable for Copley's return, but given that he isn't traveling with the team, he will likely also miss Tuesday's game in San Jose. The Kings will then return home to host the Kraken on Wednesday.

Copley suffered an undisclosed injury at practice Friday and needed to be helped off the ice, Russell Morgan of Hockey Royalty reports.
EDGE Analysis
Based on the Kings' goalie rotation, Copley was unlikely to play against Seattle on Saturday anyway, but his injury could force the Kings to bring David Rittich up from the minors to backup Cam Talbot. Still, the team has a back-to-back coming up Tuesday and Wednesday versus the Sharks and Kraken, respectively, which could be complicated if Copley can't play.

Copley allowed four goals on 27 shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
After holding the Rangers off the board in the first period, Copley surrendered two goals apiece in the second and third frames en route to a 4-1 defeat. The loss snapped a three-game winning streak for Copley -- he'd posted a .949 save percentage in that span. Overall, the 31-year-old netminder is 4-1-2 on the season with an .870 save percentage and 3.16 GAA while backing up Cam Talbot in Los Angeles.

Copley will get the starting nod for Sunday's road game against the Rangers, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Copley has won three straight games, allowing just four goals on 78 shots during that stretch. That includes an 18-save shutout against Montreal and a 26-save win over Columbus in his last outing. On the year, Copley is 4-0-2 despite a lackluster 3.03 GAA and .873 save percentage.

Copley made 26 saves in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
The Kings were staring at a 3-0 deficit through two periods, but Copley came up with a couple big stops in the third as his team rallied. The 31-year-old has yet to take a regulation loss this season, going 4-0-2 despite a 3.03 GAA and .873 save percentage, but his recent play has been much better -- Copley has a .918 save percentage in four starts since the beginning of November, and he's beginning to cut into Cam Talbot's playing time as a result.
