Kings-Oilers Preview

(AP) -- The banged-up Los Angeles Kings desperately need a spark from somebody. Anze Kopitar would be the most obvious candidate.

With injuries mounting and goals sparse, the Kings hope their leading scorer can end his slump in a matchup with the Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday night.

Los Angeles (13-9-2) placed second-leading scorer Ryan Smyth (upper-body injury) on injured reserve Monday, and will likely be without the veteran left wing until December. Defenseman Rob Scuderi may be set to return after missing three straight games with a lower-body injury, but the Kings face the possibility of playing without center Jarret Stoll (lower-body injury) after he was injured in a 5-2 loss to Calgary on Saturday. (MORE)
