Los Angeles Kings left winger Warren Foegele is set to make his return from injury in Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Foegele was hit by Blackhawks center Nick Foligno [https://x.com/LARoyalty1967/status/1982591361711997407?s=20] and was pushed into the boards in an awkward position. He wasn’t able to continue the game [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/los-angeles-kings/latest-news/foegele-exits-game-early-with-potential-shoulder-injury].

That meant he wouldn’t be able to suit up for Los Angeles for at least seven days after that.
