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. - 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 stopped 29 of 30 shots in Saturday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Predators. - It was an unlikely goaltending duel in Hollywood, with Copley and Kevin Lankinen trading saves throughout the game. In the shootout, Matt Duchene's tally ended up being the difference, sending Copley to his first loss since Feb. 23, though the goalie can't be blamed for the lack of offense from his teammates. Copley is at 20-4-3 with a 2.69 GAA and a .902 save percentage through 30 contests. The Kings' next game is Tuesday versus the Islanders.

Copley will guard the home goal Thursday versus the Canadiens, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports. - Copley has just one win in his last five appearances, allowing 14 goals in that span.

Copley posted a 25-save shutout in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Penguins. - Copley has won four of his last five decisions, though there's a case to be made that this was his best start of the season.

He's up to 16-3-1 with a 2.77 GAA and a .901 save percentage through 21 outings.

In the shootout, Copley turned aside three of four attempts to earn his fourth win in five starts this season. Aside from a six-goal dud versus the league's top offense (Buffalo), the 30-year-old goalie has run with his opportunity. He's pushing to take Jonathan Quick's starting role after bumping Cal Petersen back to AHL Ontario. Copley could be in line for another favorable matchup if he starts Tuesday versus the Ducks. |

Copley stopped 33 shots in regulation and overtime and five of seven shootout attempts in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Bruins. - After a scoreless first period, Boston beat Copley twice in odd-man situations -- once on a delayed penalty, and once on an actual power play -- in the second to go up 2-0, but the netminder shut down the home side the rest of the way and gave the Kings a chance to rally. Copley has given up exactly two goals in three of four starts since his promotion from AHL Ontario, winning each time, and he's making a strong push to supplant Jonathan Quick at the top of the Los Angeles depth chart. |

Copley was the first goalie to exit Tuesday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports, indicating he'll guard the crease on the road versus Buffalo. - Copley has victories in both of his appearances for the Kings this season and has earned himself a split share of the workload alongside veteran Jonathan Quick. Even with Copley performing well, he will be hard-pressed to secure the No. 1 job over long-time Kings' starter Quick, so fantasy players probably shouldn't be expecting more than mid-range value out of Copley, at best. |
