Kings' Akil Thomas: First point since return

Thomas logged an assist and two hits in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Rangers.

Thomas spent three games as a healthy scratch after being activated from injured reserve Dec. 7. He returned to game action for the first time since Nov. 25 because Trevor Moore (upper body) was unavailable. The 24-year-old Thomas has three points, 14 shots on net, 20 hits and a plus-1 rating over 11 appearances this season, primarily in a bottom-six role.
