Artemi Panarin to Miss Saturday's Game Due to Personal Reasons

Artemi Panarin will miss Saturday's home clash against the Calgary Flames due to personal family reasons, marking his first absence of the 2026-27 season. The 35-year-old star has driven the Kings' offense with eight goals, 19 points, and 56 shots over 17 games. Alex Turcotte is expected to take his place on the top line, with Panarin's next opportunity to return coming Tuesday against Boston.
