Anze Kopitar, LA Kings captain, is out weeks with a foot injury, missing his 20th NHL season's start.

Los Angeles Kings captain Anze Kopitar is out week-to-week with a foot injury sustained blocking a shot in a shootout loss to the Minnesota Wild. The 38-year-old center, in his 20th and final NHL season, has missed the past two games and is expected to be sidelined for an extended period, potentially the longest absence of his career. Kopitar, a two-time Stanley Cup champion and team's second-leading scorer, had recorded four assists in four games before the injury. His absence has impacted the Kings, who are 1-3-1 to start the season and face a tough stretch of road games.
