Moverare notched an assist, two shots on goal, three hits and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Kraken.
Moverare ended a five-game point drought. The 26-year-old has played regularly late in the season, though that's been because Joel Edmundson (upper body) has been unavailable. If the Kings are at full health to begin the postseason, Moverare is likely to be out of the lineup unless the team goes back to deploying seven blueliners regularly. He's contributed eight points, 30 shots on net, 31 hits, 60 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 49 appearances.

Kings' Jacob Moverare: Checks in, earns assist
Rotowire
Moverare notched an assist, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Sharks.
The Kings were missing three regulars at forward and opted to dress Moverare as a seventh defenseman rather than insert forward Akil Thomas. This ended a 12-game stretch without an appearance for Moverare, who was limited to one assist in 20 contests prior to his stint in the press box. The 26-year-old defenseman has seven points, 25 shots on net, 27 hits, 51 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 43 outings in 2024-25.

Kings' Jacob Moverare: No clear path to playing time
Rotowire
Moverare was scratched for the 12th game in a row in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Maple Leafs.
Moverare has no path to playing time currently, as long as the Kings' defense stays healthy. He may be above Kyle Burroughs in the pecking order should an injury arise, especially on the left side of the defense. However, Mikey Anderson, Vladislav Gavrikov and Joel Edmundson are locked in as the Kings' preferred left-shot blueliners. Moverare remains stuck at six points, 25 shots on net, 25 hits and 50 blocked shots through 42 appearances this season.

Kings' Jacob Moverare: Assists in consecutive contests
Rotowire
Moverare notched an assist and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Devils.
Moverare made the most of limited action (7:52 of ice time) by earning the secondary helper on Andre Lee's first NHL tally. This was Moverare's second straight game with a helper, and he has three assists over his last six outings. The 26-year-old blueliner has added 15 shots on net, 23 blocked shots, 18 hits and a plus-4 rating over 19 NHL contests this season, though his limited role on the third pairing gives him low fantasy value.

Kings' Jacob Moverare: Draws helper Sunday
Rotowire
Moverare posted an assist and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Flyers.
Moverare has two helpers over his last five contests. That's been enough for him to hold onto a third-pairing role over Andreas Englund, but Moverare could eventually lose his place in the lineup if the Kings go back to the traditional six-defensemen formation rather than the seven-defensemen approach they've taken for the better part of a month. The 26-year-old has two helpers, 13 shots on net, 18 hits, 23 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 18 appearances this season.
