Justin Williams underwent surgery on Monday to repair a broken right leg and will be out of the Los Angeles lineup for 12 weeks.
This is not good news for the Kings who lost their right winger on the top line after getting back Ryan Smyth, their first line left winger after being out a month. The duo, along with center Anze Kopitar managed only two shifts together before Williams was knocked out of the game and most of the rest of the season. Look for Williams to return in mid-March at the earliest. Teddy Purcell gets the first opportunity on the top line so his fantasy value increases, despite scoring only once in the last 32 games.
