Kings' Anze Kopitar: Shifts to injured reserve

Kopitar (foot) was moved to injured reserve Tuesday, per the NHL media site.

Kopitar is still considered week-to-week, so his placement on injured reserve shouldn't come as a surprise. While the veteran center is sidelined, Alex Laferriere looks poised to fill the first-line center role, while Quinton Byfield also sees top-six minutes.
