The veteran netminder had surgery to repair a torn ACL, a procedure that comes with a lengthy recovery time. As a result, he will miss the remainder of the season as the Kings will place him on long term injured reserve.
Copley served admirably for the Kings, posting a 28-7-5 record over two seasons along with a 2.73 goals-against-average and an .898 save percentage. His tenure with the Kings was the longest of his NHL career, having played 45 games for the franchise over the past two seasons, edging out his time in Washington where he played in 29 games over the course of two seasons. His story is one of determination and perseverance.
