The Los Angeles Kings need some reinforcement on the blue line, and it may be coming in the foreseeable future.

Defenseman Alec Martinez joined the full team practice Monday, Jon Rosen of the team's official website reports. Martinez was wearing a red no-contact jersey.

Martinez has been out since having surgery on his injured finger on Nov. 14. He left the game against the Dallas Stars one night earlier after being hit by a shot and crosschecked in the back simultaneously.

He's missed four games since suffering the injury.
