  • Kings' Carl Grundstrom: Notches helper in loss

    Grundstrom recorded an assist, two shots on goal, two hits and two PIM in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Oilers in Game 5.

    Grundstrom snapped a 10-game point drought with the helper on Adrian Kempe's first-period marker. Through five playoff outings, Grundstrom has added six shots on net, 14 hits, four PIM and a minus-2 rating. He remains in a fourth-line role, so he's unlikely to have much fantasy appeal.

  • Kings' Carl Grundstrom: Tallies in Saturday's win

    Grundstrom scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Kraken.

    Grundstrom's third-period tally held up as the game-winner. The 25-year-old has been effective from the fourth line lately, picking up five goals and two assists over his last eight outings. He's at 12 tallies, 19 points, 81 shots on net, 127 hits and a minus-1 rating through 51 contests overall.

  • Kings' Carl Grundstrom: Opens and closes scoring in win

    Grundstrom scored a pair of goals and added three hits in Monday's 8-2 win over the Flames.

    Grundstrom has four goals and an assist over his last three games. The 25-year-old's grasp on playing time was precarious as recently as a week ago, but it's tough to see him coming out of the lineup now even when Kevin Fiala (lower body) is ready to return. Grundstrom has career highs in goals (11) and points (17) with 114 hits, 72 shots on net and a minus-1 rating through 46 appearances.

  • Kings' Carl Grundstrom: Pots goal in shootout loss

    Grundstrom scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Saturday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Canucks.

    Grundstrom has been productive since returning to a regular role in the lineup following a lower-body injury. He has three goals and two assists over his last eight contests despite logging fourth-line minutes. The winger is up to nine tallies and six assists through 45 games, exactly matching his scoring output from 54 outings a year ago. He's added 68 shots on net, 111 hits and a minus-3 rating in 2022-23.

  • Kings' Carl Grundstrom: One of each in win

    Grundstrom scored a goal on two shots, dished an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Blue Jackets.

    Grundstrom set up Drew Doughty on the opening goal before scoring one of his own to cap the Kings' four-goal outburst in the second period. This was Grundstrom's second multi-point effort of the season. He's played in seven of the last eight games since returning from a lower-body injury, earning four points with 13 shots on net. For the season, the bottom-six winger has eight goals, six assists, 67 shots on net, 109 hits and a minus-4 rating through 44 appearances.

  • Kings' Carl Grundstrom: Opens scoring Saturday

    Grundstrom scored a goal on three shots, added two hits and logged two PIM in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Blues.

    Grundstrom tallied just 3:14 into the contest, deflecting in a shot from Matt Roy. The goal was Grundstrom's second point over three contests since he returned from a six-week absence with a lower-body injury. The 25-year-old winger has seven tallies, five helpers, 102 hits, 59 shots on net and a minus-6 rating through 40 outings this season. He should remain in contention for bottom-six minutes for the rest of the campaign.

  • Kings' Carl Grundstrom: Back at it

    Grundstrom (lower body) will be activated off injured reserve and return to the lineup Tuesday versus Winnipeg, Jon Rosen of the Forum Report reports.

    Grundstrom should return to a bottom-six role against the Jets following his 16-game absence. He's picked up 10 points through 37 games this campaign.

  • Kings' Carl Grundstrom: Will miss Saturday's game

    Grundstrom (lower body) won't play Saturday against the Penguins, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

    Grundstrom did skate on his own Thursday, so he seems to be making some progress. He has six goals and 10 points in 37 contests while averaging 11:05 of ice time this season. He was last in the lineup Jan. 11.

  • Kings' Carl Grundstrom: Placed on injured reserve

    Grundstrom was placed on injured reserve with a lower-body injury Thursday.

    Grundstrom was already ruled out through the All-Star break, so his designation for injured reserve shouldn't come as a surprise. With the forward on the shelf, both Samuel Fagemo and Alex Turcotte were called up from the minors to provide additional depth.

  • Kings' Carl Grundstrom: Unavailable through All-Star break

    Grundstrom (undisclosed) will be out through at least the All-Star break, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

    Based on that timeline, Grundstrom won't be available prior to Feb. 11. The winger had been scratched for four of the last five games anyway, so he probably won't be missed much in fantasy. The Kings may need to make a call-up for a depth forward during Grundstrom's absence.

  • Kings' Carl Grundstrom: Scratched in last three contests

    Grundstrom has been a healthy scratch in Los Angeles' last three games.

    Grundstrom has appeared in just eight of Los Angeles' last 15 games, and even when he's been in the lineup, he's averaged only 7:43 of ice time over that span. The 25-year-old does have 91 hits in 36 contests this season, but he's been credited with only 11 hits over his last eight games. Unless he starts playing regularly again for Los Angeles, Grundstrom's contributions will be minimal. He also had six goals, 10 points, a minus-7 rating and nine blocks in 2022-23.

  • Kings' Carl Grundstrom: Goals in consecutive contests

    Grundstrom scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Coyotes.

    Grundstrom tallied a game-tying goal late in the second period. He's scored in each of the last two games after going seven appearances without a point. The 25-year-old remains confined to a bottom-six role, so it'll be tough to trust him to find stable scoring. He's at six goals, three assists, 43 shots on net, 67 hits and a minus-6 rating through 25 outings.

  • Kings' Carl Grundstrom: Tickles twine

    Grundstrom scored a goal and added three hits in Tuesday's 9-8 overtime loss to the Kraken.

    Grundstrom kept the chaos going with a tally at 2:48 of the second period. The goal snapped a seven-game point drought for the 24-year-old winger, who has struggled to make much of an impact from a bottom-six role lately. He's up to five goals, three assists, 41 shots on net, 66 hits and a minus-7 rating in 24 contests overall.

  • Kings' Carl Grundstrom: Tallies in Saturday's win

    Grundstrom scored a goal in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Red Wings.

    Grundstrom made his mark early, scoring just nine seconds into the game. That was the extent of his production in 11:48 of ice time. The 24-year-old winger has been a solid depth player for the Kings this season, earning four goals, three assists, 26 shots on net and 43 hits through 16 contests. That physicality could earn him a look in deeper fantasy formats, especially if he keeps chipping in occasional offense.

  • Kings' Carl Grundstrom: Gets three hits Thursday

    Grundstrom was credited with three hits in the Kings' 2-1 overtime victory against Chicago on Thursday.

    Grundstrom leads Los Angeles and is in a three-way tie for 20th place in the NHL with 43 hits in 15 contests this season. He's also contributed three goals and six points in 15 games, which is a great scoring pace by his standards. He's playing in a bottom-six role though and has received next to no power-play ice time, so his offensive potential is limited.

  • Kings' Carl Grundstrom: Scores twice Monday

    Grundstrom scored two goals on four shots, logged three hits, went plus-2 and added two PIM in Monday's 5-1 win over the Blues.

    Grundstrom tallied twice in the second period, and his second goal chased Jordan Binnington from the game at the midway mark. This performance doubled Grundstrom's point total for the year -- he now has three goals and an assist in 10 appearances. The winger has added 19 shots, 29 hits and a minus-1 rating while mainly playing in a bottom-six role, so a repeat performance isn't likely any time soon.

  • Kings' Carl Grundstrom: Lends assist in loss

    Grundstrom produced an assist and two hits in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Jets.

    Grundstrom and the fourth line combined on the Kings' second goal, as he fed Blake Lizotte for the tally. The assist was Grundstrom's second point in eight games this season. The 24-year-old winger has added 24 hits, 14 shots on net and a minus-4 rating. He's seen some time in a larger role, but the Swede's scoring potential is limited as long as he's on the fourth line.

  • Kings' Carl Grundstrom: Leads Kings in hits

    Grundstrom leads the Kings with 12 hits in four games this season.

    Grundstrom has averaged just 9:21 of ice time in 2022-23 and that's not likely to increase significantly as the campaign goes on. He's also not expected to get many points. He had just nine goals and 15 points in 54 contests in 2021-22 and hasn't shown up on the scoresheet yet this season. That all said, he does play with a physical edge and should continue to be one of Los Angeles' leading players in terms of hits as long as he can stay in the lineup.

  • Kings' Carl Grundstrom: Getting little ice time

    Grundstrom has averaged just 8:27 of ice time through three games this season.

    Grundstrom had another game of light work on Monday, logging 7:13 of ice time in the Kings' 5-4 overtime loss to Detroit. Grundstrom has been used primarily as a depth forward for years, but his average ice time so far in 2022-23 would be a career-low if it continued throughout the season. He doesn't do much offensively, but he does record plenty of hits. He had 134 hits in 54 contests last season and has accumulated six hits in three games in 2022-23.

  • Kings' Carl Grundstrom: Signs extension Monday

    Grundstrom signed a two-year, $2.6 million contract extension with the Kings on Monday.

    Grundstrom has spent the bulk of each of the last two seasons with the Kings, pitching in 26 points across 101 games. He's been far more productive at the AHL level with 70 points in 97 contests, but clearly the team is happy enough with his development to award the 24-year-old with a deal carrying a cap hit ($1.3 million) worth nearly double the league minimum. Grundstrom also scored three goals in Round 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs against Edmonton in May.
