Sprained knee lands Potvin on injured list

Associated Press

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- The injury-riddled Los Angeles Kings placed goaltender Felix Potvin on the injured reserve list Wednesday due to a sprained right knee.

The 31-year-old Potvin was injured in the first period of a 3-1 loss at San Jose on Tuesday night. He came out of the game after allowing three goals in the first 13:04 of play.

To replace Potvin, the Kings recalled goalie Cristobal Huet from Manchester of the AHL.

Potvin joins centers Eric Belanger and Brad Chartrand, left wings Ken Belanger and Kip Brennan, right wing Adam Deadmarsh and defenseman Lubomir Visnovsky on the team's injured reserve list.

In addition, center Jason Allison has missed two straight games because of a strained hip flexor, and defenseman Mathieu Schneider didn't play at San Jose after being hit with a shot in the foot a night earlier in a 3-0 loss to the Sharks at Staples Center.

The Kings have lost 15 of their last 19 games to fall into last place in the Pacific Division.
