Iafallo hasn't played since October 17th due to a lower-body injury but was enjoying an incredibly successful early start to the season after picking up a point in all four games played with five points (2G/3A) and six SOG. He will play on a line with Gabe Vilardi and Adrian Kempe.

The Kings have placed Alex Iafallo (lower-body) on IR.

Iafallo suffered a lower-body injury in Monday's overtime win in Detroit. Moving him to IR means that he will miss at least seven days (three games). The Kings have not provided a timetable on how long he's expected to be sidelined. Look for Arthur Kaliyev to replace him in the lineup on Tuesday.

Iafallo (COVID-19 protocol) practiced on Sunday and is expected to play Monday vs. the Rangers.

Both Iafallo and Alex Turcotte re-joined practice on Sunday but Turcotte was the only one who was officially activated from the COVID-19 protocol list. Iafallo was back on the top line with Anze Kopitar during the session, a good sign that he'll be available Monday. Expect him to be officially activated later today and play vs. the Rangers.

Iafallo (upper-body) could be ready-to-go for Game 1.

Iafallo missed the final four games of the regular season with an upper-body injury, but was back in a familiar spot in Monday’s practice. Iafallo, who tallied 25 points (9G / 16A) in 75 games this season, skated on the top-line with Anze Kopitar and Dustin Brown.
