Brodzinski could be facing a lengthy absence, but there's no definitive timeline. The 25-year-old winger posted just six points in 35 games last year so his vacancy won't affect the fantasy realm.

The 25-year-old winger had an MRI early Friday, and it appears the results weren't good. Brodzinski has tons of promise, compiling 30 points and a plus-9 rating in 229 games for AHL Ontario last season, but his 35 NHL games resulted in just four goals and two helpers. He was battling for a bottom-six role before his injury.

Kings' Jonny Brodzinski: Coach Stevens preaching consistency

Brodzinski has fashioned 55 goals and 52 assists over 153 AHL games with Ontario since the start of the 2015-16 campaign. The Kings are gradually increasing his responsibilities at the top level, where he's added four goals and as many assists over 41 contests. "You want to be able to put a guy in the lineup that you know exactly what you're getting on a nightly basis. You don't want to see a drop-off in his play," Stevens said, referring to Brodzinski, who needs to earn more shifts in the offensive zone.
