EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Los Angeles Kings captain Anze Kopitar has a significant foot injury that could sideline him for the near future.

The Kings announced Friday that Kopitar is week-to-week after he missed their 4-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday.

Kopitar was hit in the foot by a deflected puck during the Kings' shootout loss at the MinnesotaWild on Monday.

He is beginning his 20th and final season in an NHL career spent entirely with the Kings. The Slovenian center announced his impending retirement last month at the start of training camp.

The two-time Stanley Cup champion has twice won the Selke Trophy as the NHL's top defensive forward. He is the second-leading scorer in Kings history and a five-time All-Star.

The Kings are off to a rough start to the seas
