Lombardi confirmed to Helene Elliot that Kopitar's injury is indeed 2-3 weeks.

I can assure you that Kopitar goal is to play on opening night. He probably wont play his usual top minutes and he'll probably wont play on PK but he'll be there and contribute...

I really hope they decide to take it easy with Kopi. Would much rather have him miss the first two weeks of the season and get back to 100% than risk re-injury.

I would rather Kopitar wait till he is 100%. No reason to throw the guys career away for 48 games.

Jeff Carter is more than capable of playing 1st line center.

RG3 could barely walk when he was left out there though, i'm sure Kopitar is able to skate

Our center depth is insane, so I would not worry about having him play in the opener. Let him heal 100% and have Carter and Richards center the first 2 lines for a couple games. We are prepared to handle an injury like this. I'm much more concerned about what will happen with Mitchell out.
