Andrej Sekera has been out since March 30 when he suffered a lower body injury. He was acquired from the Carolina Hurricanes to help the Kings struggling defense who was without Slava Voynov and Alec Martinez.
Martinez was activated on March 20th so the Kings do have some depth on the defensive side of the puck. A return date is not set for Andrej Sekera at this time.
The LA Times reported the following on Andrej Sekera’s recent successes on the team:
“He’s been good,” Kopitar said Thursday night. “He’s obviously been very big. He’s been able to take some minutes off Dewey [Drew Doughty] too, which always comes in handy.
“He’s been making plays the last two games, which is huge for us.”
Sekera has logged about 20 minutes of ice time in three of the last four games, and he played 26 minutes 31 seconds Tuesday against the Rangers, the most ice time he has had with the Kings.
“He’s awesome,” Kings defenseman Alec Martinez said of Sekera. “I guess he played in the Eastern Conference ever since I’ve been in the league. We weren’t as familiar with him.
“He’s a huge asset for us. He can play that off-side, I know first-hand that’s not very easy all the time.”
The Kings take on the Colorado Avalanche at the Staples Center tonight at 7:00 p.m.
