Lands on IR Turcotte (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve by the Kings on Saturday.

Impact Prior to the injury, Turcotte was off to a solid start to the 2026-27 campaign, where he had an assist, a plus-1 rating, four PIM, a shot on goal and four hits across three appearances. He had been operating as the Kings' second-line center alongside Alex Laferriere and Trevor Moore. With the move to injured reserve, Turcotte will be sidelined for at least a week, meaning his next chance to play will be Oct. 17 against the Bruins. In his absence, Samuel Helenius will likely be a regular name in the Kings' lineup.

Considered day-to-day Head coach Peter Laviolette said Friday that Turcotte is considered day-to-day due to an undisclosed injury, Alexander Legget of MayorsManor.com reports.

Impact Turcotte appeared in each of the Kings' first three games of the regular season, recording an assist, four hits, four PIM and a blocked shot while averaging 14:06 of ice time. However, he didn't practice Friday, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Saturday's game against Vegas.

OCTOBER 9 • ROTOWIRE

Three-point effort in preseason win Turcotte scored two even-strength goals and added a power-play assist in Saturday's 6-2 preseason win over the Ducks.

Impact All three points came in the third period as the Kings pulled away. Turcotte could be headed for a top-six role this season following the retirement of Anze Kopitar, but the 25-year-old center has yet to produce big numbers in the NHL, and he managed just three goals and 14 points in 62 regular-season games in 2025-26.

Available for Game 1 Turcotte (undisclosed) has been cleared to play ahead of Sunday's road clash against the Avalanche, per Zach Dooley.

Impact Turcotte missed eight consecutive games to close out the regular season, but will be available for the Kings' first-round playoff series opener. He was cleared for action Saturday alongside Jeff Malott and Andrei Kuzmenko, but it was noted that all three likely won't be in the lineup together. Across 62 regular-season games this season, Turcotte has three goals, 14 points, 67 shots on net, 51 hits and 33 blocked shots. The 25-year-old center's lineup placement ahead of Sunday will likely be hinted at through line rushes during the Kings' next two days of practices.

Not available Thursday Turcotte (undisclosed) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's clash in Calgary, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Impact Turcotte will sit out his eighth straight game with the injury. He has three goals and 11 assists across 62 regular-season games this season. The 25-year-old was selected fifth overall in 2019 and with 13 goals and 30 assists over 162 regular-season games across parts of five seasons in the NHL, Turcotte has to be considered a disappointment.

Out of action Tuesday Turcotte (undisclosed) won't play Tuesday versus the Canucks, Dennis Bernstein of The Fourth Period reports.

Impact The Kings are using the same lineup as they did Monday when they won 5-3 over the Kraken to clinch a playoff spot. Turcotte will miss a seventh straight game, but he's reportedly close to being available, which suggests he could be an option at some point in the first round of the playoffs.

APRIL 15 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with undisclosed injury Turcotte won't be in the lineup versus Seattle on Monday due to an undisclosed injury, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Impact According to head coach D.J. Smith, Turcotte is close to getting back in the lineup and hasn't been officially ruled out versus Vancouver on Tuesday. The 25-year-old Illinois native has appeared in just 62 games this season in which he has garnered three goals and 11 helpers. Even once cleared to play, Turcotte is far from a lock to play on a nightly basis and could serve as a healthy scratch periodically.

APRIL 13 • ROTOWIRE

First point since return Turcotte logged an assist, two shots on goal and two hits in Monday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact Turcotte's helper was his first point in seven games since he returned from an upper-body injury that sidelined him prior to the Olympic break. The 25-year-old had been playing center, but the Kings' trade for Scott Laughton has pushed Turcotte onto the third-line wing for now. Turcotte may be able to do more there, especially with a defensively reliable center on his line. For the season, Turcotte has 13 points, 64 shots on net, 42 hits, 28 blocked shots and 21 PIM across 56 outings.

MARCH 10 • ROTOWIRE

Playing Wednesday Turcotte (upper body) was taken off injured reserve and will feature in Wednesday's matchup with Vegas, per NHL.com.

Impact Turcotte returns to the lineup having missed just six games due to his upper-body injury. Despite recording 15 shots in his last eight appearances, the 24-year-old center has been unable to put one into the net. With Vegas missing several Olympic participants, Turcotte could have a decent chance of breaking out of his slump Wednesday.

FEBRUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Put on injured reserve Turcotte (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Saturday

Impact Turcotte has missed the last two games and is likely out of action until after the Olympic break, which ends Feb. 25. Turcotte had a goal and five assists in his last 11 games, giving the 24-year-old three goals and nine assists over 49 appearances this season. The Kings activated Anze Kopitar (lower body) from injured reserve in a corresponding move.

Impact Turcotte missed Tuesday's tilt in Detroit with the injury. The 24-year-old has three goals and 12 points with 29 hits and 25 blocked shots over 49 games this season. He could return as early as Wednesday versus Seattle, though the Kings could give him some extra time off as they are off from Feb. 6-24 due to the Olympic break.
