Los Angeles, which acquired star winger Artemi Panarin from the New York Rangers just ahead of the Olympics, sits five points out of a wild-card berth in the Western Conference.
However, it lost key forward Kevin Fiala for the season due to an injury sustain in Milan, and may not have Andrei Kuzmenko or Joel Armia for the rest of the season either, Seravalli reported.
Kuzmenko is listed as week-to-week after undergoing surgery for a torn meniscus.
Armia was placed on injured reserve Monday with an upper-body injury.
