L.A. Kings defenseman Jake Muzzin interview (part 2)

Here’s part two of Monday’s interview with Kings defenseman Jake Muzzin:

Muzzin suffered an undisclosed injury only days before the Kings opened the regular season with a 4-0 loss last Wednesday to the San Jose Sharks. Brayden McNabb took Muzzin’s place alongside Norris Trophy candidate Drew Doughty for the first three games of the season.

Muzzin couldn’t say with an degree of certainty when he might play again.

“I do not know,” he said. “Maybe later this week.”

The Kings’ six-game homestand continues tonight against the Edmonton Oilers at Staples Center. The Kings then play host to the St. Louis Blues on Thursday, the Minnesota Wild on Sunday and the Buffalo Sabres on Oct. 23 and the Columbus Blue Jackets on Oct. 26.

Meanwhile, Muzzin will continue his workouts until he’s cleared to play.

“We’ll see,” he said. “The guys are playing great. Big win (Sunday over the Winnipeg Jets). We have to build from that. There was a good feeling in the dressing room. I’ve been working out during the games. Riding the bike. Just in the room, watching and yelling at the TV.”
