Status report

Kopitar will return after missing four games with a foot injury; he will play on a line with Kuzmenko and Kempe. … Josi will not play and is week to week; the injury is not related to Postural Tachycardia Syndrome, which the defenseman was diagnosed with late last season. ... Hague will be a game-time decision; the defenseman has not played this season because of an upper-body injury sustained during a preseason game.
