Injured Kings forward Marian Gaborik won’t play against Oilers

Marian Gaborik didn’t participate in the Kings’ morning skate and couldn’t play Tuesday against the Edmonton Oilers because of an unspecified injury that also prevented him from playing in several games during the preseason. Gaborik recorded an assist for his first point of the season and played 15:56 in the Kings’ victory Sunday over Winnipeg. Kings coach Darryl Sutter, as is his custom, declined to speak about Gaborik’s injury. The Kings were already without forward Trevor Lewis and defenseman Jake Muzzin because of injuries. There is no timetable for either player to return to the lineup, and it’s unclear how long Gaborik might be out. Or how he aggravated the injury.

The Kings’ lines looked like this at the morning skate:

Justin Williams, Anze Kopitar, Mike Richards

Dwight King, Jarret Stoll, Dustin Brown

Tanner Pearson, Jeff Carter, Tyler Toffoli

Kyle Clifford Andy Andreoff, Jordan Nolan

Their defense pairs were unchanged.

Jonathan Quick was first off the ice, so he’s your starter.
