 The loss of Martinez further depletes the Kings' defensive corps.
After Martinez left the game, Los Angeles played with a five-man
rotation of defensemen for the rest of the night.
Kings defenseman Slavy Voynov continues to serve an indefinite
suspension after he was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence,
but the team hopes to get defenseman Robyn Regehr back from an
injury for the weekend. The Kings also recently signed veteran
free-agent Jamie McBain to a league-minimum contract.
In 17 games this season, Martinez has seven points and is averaging
19:42 of ice time.
