Kings' Kurtis MacDermid: Not traveling to Phoenix

The extent of the injury remains relatively unknown, other than that it was an upper-body concern that knocked MacDermid out of Monday's loss to the Flames. His next chance to take the ice will come Friday against the Ducks.

Kings' Kurtis MacDermid: Suffers upper-body injury

Look for more updates on MacDermid's status to come in the next 24 hours as the Kings are slated to head to Arizona for a matchup with the Coyotes on Tuesday night. Dion Phaneuf and Alec Martinez will likely see an uptick in time on the ice with MacDermid sidelined.

Kings' Kurtis MacDermid: First point of season

It was his first point of the season, and his fifth in 43 career games. MacDermid has mostly served as depth while up with the Kings, finding himself in the press box for seven contests this season. He has 22 hits but only three shots on goal, making him a non-factor for fantasy purposes.

Kings' Kurtis MacDermid: Added to NHL roster

MacDermid has yet to make an appearance at the top level this season, but he does own 14 points to his name over 48 AHL contests. The 6-foot-5 blueliner has proven he's willing to mix it up on the ice, heading to the penalty box for 147 minutes with the Reign. MacDermid racked up 77 hits over 34 games last season and should slot into a similar role for the Kings if he draws into the lineup again.

Kings' Kurtis MacDermid: Placed on waivers

MacDermid split time between Los Angeles and AHL Ontario last season, scoring two goals and 10 points in 66 games between the AHL and NHL levels. The 24-year-old will likely be sent back to the Ontario Reign when he clears waivers and should only see NHL playing time as an injury replacement.
