Kings' Jonny Brodzinski: Activated off IR

Brodzinski's activation from injured reserve doesn't guarantee he will draw into the lineup, but he will at least be available for the Kings should he be needed. The team's trade of Carl Hagelin could provide more openings for Brodzinski -- who has yet to play in the NHL this season -- to draw in, but he remains off the fantasy radar in the vast majority of leagues.

Kings' Jonny Brodzinski: Beginning conditioning stint

The Minnesota native hasn't played a game this season after getting injured during training camp, but will try to work up to game shape in the minors. Last campaign, Brodzinski recorded four goals and two assists over 35 contests, so don't expect to see a world-beating player when he does return to the Los Angeles lineup.

Kings' Jonny Brodzinski: Skates in practice

Brodzinski isn't a major contributor, so this won't affect anything in season-long leagues. It might help a little in dynasty leagues given his age, but for the most part, even if Brodzinski returns, he's probably not going to be a factor in fantasy in 2018-19.

Kings' Jonny Brodzinski: Shifts to IR

Brodzinski could be facing a lengthy absence, but there's no definitive timeline. The 25-year-old winger posted just six points in 35 games last year so his vacancy won't affect the fantasy realm.

Kings' Jonny Brodzinski: Out indefinitely with shoulder injury

The 25-year-old winger had an MRI early Friday, and it appears the results weren't good. Brodzinski has tons of promise, compiling 30 points and a plus-9 rating in 229 games for AHL Ontario last season, but his 35 NHL games resulted in just four goals and two helpers. He was battling for a bottom-six role before his injury.
