After returning from a leave of absence, Forbort was injured during practice on Monday. While the specific details of what happened aren't clear, Dayal reported that Forbort left favouring his leg. Forbort has played four games so far this season, recording one assist while averaging 16:30 of ice time. 

Joshua is still recovering from offseason surgery to remove a cancerous tumour. While Tocchet did say on Tuesday that he was a possibility for Thursday, the 28-year-old has officially been ruled out of the game against the Kings. Depending on how the team plays and Joshua's health, he could make his season debut on Saturday against the Edmonton Oilers.
