The Kings’ Oscar Moller has suffered a fractured clavicle and will be reevaluated after the All-Star break. He did not skate with the team this morning.

He originally suffered the injury while playing for Sweden in the world junior championships against Russia, but was able to play in the title game against Canada, which Sweden lost.
