The team announced just before the game was set to begin that Andrei Svechnikov will be sidelined with an upper-body injury.
Svechnikov (upper body) won't be in the lineup Saturday versus the Kings. Svechnikov saw 19:03 of ice time in Thursday's game versus the Blackhawks, so it's unclear when he suffered the injury.
Svechnikov notched an assist and four shots on goal in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Wild.
Andrei Svechnikov scored twice and added an assist, Frederik Andersen made 22 saves, and the Carolina Hurricanes beat the New York Rangers 4-0 on Tuesday night.
