According to a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/LAKings\/status\/2010143628237386184\" rel=\"nofollow\">team announcement<\/a>, the Kings have returned forward <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/p\/perryco01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.prohockeyrumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-01-10_hr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Corey Perry<\/a> from the non-roster list, placed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/k\/kopitan01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.prohockeyrumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-01-10_hr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">An\u017ee Kopitar<\/a> on the injured reserve, and have reassigned <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/g\/guttmco01.html?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=www.prohockeyrumors.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-01-10_hr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Cole Guttman<\/a> to the AHL\u2019s Ontario Reign.<\/p>\n<p>Perry, 40, missed two games for the Kings while on the non-roster list. The team didn\u2019t fare well without him, losing in overtime to the San Jose Sharks and in regulation to the struggling Winnipeg Jets. Regardless, he\u2019ll provide Los Angeles with more offense at the very least, scoring nine goals and 21 points in 35 games while averaging 13:33 of ice time per game.<\/p>\n<p>Not only has Perry been one of the better scorers on the team in his age-40 season, but he\u2019s been one of the most responsible. Regarding Kings\u2019 forwards that have played in 25 or more games this season, Perry is fifth on the team in CorsiFor% with a 53.9% mark.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Kopitar lands on the IR, having missed the same number of games as Perry over the last little while. The Kings\u2019 captain has been dealing with a lower-body injury and won\u2019t be eligible to return until Wednesday against the Vegas Golden Knights due to the IR requirements for activation. He\u2019s scored six goals and 21 points in 37 games throughout the duration of his final season in the NHL.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, Guttman will return to AHL Ontario after not appearing in a game for Los Angeles. The former bottom-six forward for the Chicago Blackhawks is in his first year with the Kings organization after signing a two-year, $1.55MM contract last summer. He\u2019s been a solid player in the AHL this year, scoring nine goals and 23 points in 31 games, good for fifth on the team in scoring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Los Angeles Kings will have a different look against the Edmonton Oilers tonight.
