Alex Turcotte Injury: Likely to miss another game

Head coach Jim Hiller said Friday that Turcotte (upper body) is "getting closer" to returning but will likely remain sidelined for Saturday's game against the Red Wings, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Hiller specified that there's a "chance" Turcotte returns against Detroit but said that he leaned toward the 23-year-old missing another game. Turcotte has missed the last five games due to his upper-body injury, and if he's ultimately ruled out against Detroit, his next chance to return would be Wednesday against the Sabres.
