Copley is slated to defend the road cage versus Columbus on Tuesday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Copley remains undefeated in regulation this season, posting a 3-0-2 record with a 3.04 GAA, .868 save percentage and one shutout in six appearances. Despite putting up 24 wins in 37 games last year, the Alaskan netminder is struggling to secure regular starts and finds himself firmly cemented in the No. 2 role behind Cam Talbot.

Copley made 18 saves in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
The Kings out-shot the visitors 30-18 on the afternoon and dominated play, and Copley was rarely tested as he picked up his first shutout of the season and the third of his career. The 31-year-old netminder has yet to lose in regulation this season, going 3-0-2 in six appearances, but his 3.04 GAA and .868 save percentage aren't making a strong case to cut into Cam Talbot's workload.

Copley will patrol the home crease Saturday against Montreal, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Copley is coming off a 30-save performance in Monday's 4-1 win over Arizona. He has a 2-0-2 record this season with a 3.75 GAA and an .845 save percentage in five appearances. Montreal is tied for 25th in the league with 2.85 goals per game this campaign.

Copley stopped 30 of 31 shots in Monday's 4-1 win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Lawson Crouse's goal late in the second period was the lone blemish on Copley's line Monday as the 31-year-old netminder put together his best effort of the season to earn his second win. Copley had struggled to a .792 save percentage through his first four starts this season, though Monday's performance boosted that number to .845. The Kings play back-to-back games Friday and Saturday, lining up Copley for a potential two-start week.

Copley is expected to guard the road net Monday against Arizona, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site, after being the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate.
EDGE Analysis
Copley permitted three goals on six shots in just 8:21 of ice time prior to being pulled in a 5-4 win over the Coyotes on Oct. 27. Cam Talbot stopped 17 of 18 shots to pick up the win in relief. Copley made 16 saves in a 4-3 overtime loss to Pittsburgh on Nov. 9 during his last start. He has allowed 15 goals on 72 shots in four appearances this season en route to a 1-0-2 record. Arizona is tied for 16th in the league with 3.24 goals per contest this campaign.

Copley allowed four goals on 20 shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
Copley handled the second half of a back-to-back and at least guided the Kings to one standings point. The 31-year-old has failed to make much of an impact this season, going 1-0-2 with 15 goals allowed over four appearances. Cam Talbot has gained control of the starting role and should be between the pipes Saturday versus the Flyers.

Copley will guard home goal versus the Penguins on Thursday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
This will be the first time the Kings have not stuck with a winning goalie for the next game, though it's fair to say Cam Talbot earned some rest after defeating Vegas on Wednesday. Copley's last action came Oct. 27 versus the Coyotes when he allowed three goals on six shots in a short start. The 31-year-old will face a Penguins team that has won three of its last five games.

Copley stopped three of six shots in Friday's 5-4 win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
While the Kings ultimately rallied for a win, Copley's poor effort at the start put them in an early hole. He lasted just 8:21 into the game before ceding the crease to Cam Talbot, who gave up a goal within his first minute in the game. With 11 goals allowed on 52 shots through three outings, Copley's not doing himself any favors for earning more playing time. He could be at risk of losing the backup job altogether if the Kings opt to call up David Rittich at any point.

Copley is expected to get the starting nod in Friday's road matchup with Arizona, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Copley will make consecutive starts for the first time this season after Cam Talbot played in four of the club's six contests. While Talbot has gotten the bulk of the workload, Copley could take a bigger share of the netminding duties if he can put together a handful of strong performances.

Copley stopped 24 of 27 shots in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Copley was steady enough to get the win, with plenty of help from the Kings' offense. The 31-year-old netminder is now 1-0-1 on the year with eight goals allowed on 46 shots. While it wasn't a dominant start, the Kings have so far allowed a winning goalie to start the next game. If that holds true, Copley would get a rematch with the Coyotes in Arizona on Friday.
