| LOS ANGELES -- Luc Robitaille, who leads the Los Angeles Kings with 10 goals in 15 games this season, will be sidelined for
two to six weeks with a broken left foot.

Robitaille was hurt when hit in the foot by a puck on Oct. 28
against the Pittsburgh Penguins at Staples Center. X-rays were
negative, but persistent pain continued and Robitaille underwent an
MRI exam Thursday that revealed the fracture.
Robitaille, a left wing, will be fitted for a cast and be on
crutches before beginning his rehabilitation, the Kings said
Friday.
Robitaille and Ziggy Palffy each have 16 points to lead the
surprising Kings to a 9-3-3 arecord -- their best start in seven
years.
Robitaille, 33, led the Kings with 39 goals, 25 assists, seven
power-play goals and 292 shots last season, when he became the 27th
player in NHL history to reach the 500-goal milestone. He has
played in seven All-Star games. | |
