Top Kings News

  • Kings' Anze Kopitar: Not expected to be out long term

    Kopitar (lower body) is day-to-day, per Dennis Bernstein of The Fourth Period on Tuesday.

    Kopitar sustained his lower-body injury Monday against the Wild and was ruled out by the team during the middle frame. The Kings play Wednesday at home versus San Jose, and the team will likely not rush Kopitar back into the lineup if he's anything less than 100 percent healthy, given that he's 38 years old. The Kings are already thin up the middle, so a center may be recalled from AHL Ontario if Kopitar is unable to suit up Wednesday.

  • Kings' Joel Armia: Deemed day-to-day

    Armia (upper body) is day-to-day, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports Tuesday.

    Armia left Monday's 4-2 win over Minnesota midway through the second period and didn't return. An update on his status should come before Wednesday's matchup against San Jose. Armia has produced nine goals, 16 points, 51 shots on net, 24 blocked shots and 38 hits across 41 appearances this season.

  • Kings' Brian Dumoulin: Registers pair of helpers

    Dumoulin notched two assists, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Monday's 4-2 win over the Wild.

    Dumoulin has a pair of two-assist games over his last five outings. Prior to that, he went 11 contests without a point. The 34-year-old defenseman has limited scoring potential, especially in a bottom-four role. He's up to 10 helpers, 41 shots on net, 57 blocked shots, 21 hits, 12 PIM and a plus-6 rating through 41 appearances this season, giving him a chance to reach the 20-point mark for the third time in four years.

  • Kings' Warren Foegele: Tickles twine Monday

    Foegele scored a goal on five shots in Monday's 4-2 win over the Wild.

    Foegele ended a 12-game point drought with the opening tally at 15:34 of the second period. Despite the lack of production, he's remained in a middle-six role. The 29-year-old winger is now at six goals, one assist, 54 shots on net, 38 hits and a minus-1 rating through 33 appearances this season, well off the pace that saw him top 40 points in each of the last two regular seasons.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Kings' Kevin Fiala: Deposits goal in win

    Fiala scored a goal on three shots in Monday's 4-2 win over the Wild.

    Fiala has two goals and three assists during his four-game point streak. He got on the scoresheet in all three contests against the Wild this season, earning two goals and a helper versus his former team. Fiala is up to 15 goals, 29 points, 117 shots on net, 20 hits, 24 PIM and a minus-8 rating through 41 appearances. He should continue to challenge for the 30-goal and 60-point marks.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Kings' Andrei Kuzmenko: Remains productive

    Kuzmenko notched a goal and an assist in Monday's 4-2 win over the Wild.

    Kuzmenko assisted on Kevin Fiala's goal in the second period, and he later found the back of the net to give the Kings a 3-1 lead at the 9:20 mark of the final frame with a wrister. Kuzmenko has two multi-point performances in his last three games and seven points (four goals, three helpers) over his last seven appearances.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Kings' Adrian Kempe: Nets empty-netter

    Kempe scored an empty-net goal in Monday's 4-2 win over the Wild.

    Kempe closed out the scoring for the Kings late in the fourth period, and the 29-year-old has been productive of late with two goals and four points over his last five contests. Firmly entrenched in the first line, Kempe is expected to continue having opportunities to produce. The 29-year-old playmaker is up to 34 points (15 goals, 19 assists) on the season.

  • Kings' Darcy Kuemper: Earns win over Minnesota

    Kuemper stopped 33 of 35 shots in Monday's 4-2 win over the Wild.

    Kuemper was impressive and delivered his best performance in quite some time -- this was the first time he recorded a save percentage of at least .900 since returning from an upper-body injury that cost him six games. Kuemper has 12 wins this season, going 12-7-6 with a 2.32 GAA and a .912 save percentage in 26 appearances so far. He's 2-1-0 with an .884 save percentage since returning from the injury.

  • Kings' Joel Armia: Injured against Minnesota

    Armia suffered an upper-body injury Monday against the Wild and will not return to the game.

    Armia went to locker room in the second period after "some contact" from Quinn Hughes, per Russell Morgan of Hockey Royalty. Anze Kopitar (lower body) was also injured Monday, so the Kings are currently down to 10 forwards. Armia can be considered day-to-day until his status is updated ahead of Wednesday's matchup against San Jose.

  • Kings' Anze Kopitar: Won't return to Monday's game

    Kopitar has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's matchup against the Wild due to a lower-body injury.

    Kopitar didn't come out for the start of the second period after logging 4:54 of ice time in the first. The veteran center should be considered day-to-day ahead of Wednesday's home divisional contest against the Sharks.

  • Kings' Trevor Moore: Set to miss another game

    Moore (illness) isn't expected to play against Minnesota on Monday, according to Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

    Moore took part in Monday's morning skate, but he didn't participate in line rushes and was on late for extra work. As a result, he will likely miss his third straight game. Moore has accounted for five goals, 13 points, 67 shots on net, 22 blocked shots and 22 hits in 37 appearances this season. Jeff Malott has been playing due to Moore's absence.

  • Kings' Darcy Kuemper: Exits ice first Monday

    Kuemper was the first goalie to leave the ice Monday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports, indicating he'll defend the cage at home against the Wild.

    Kuemper will make his third straight start since returning from an upper-body injury. The veteran backstop has given up four goals in each of his last two outings, posting a 1-1-0 record and .843 save percentage along the way. Despite his recent struggles, Kuemper has likely earned himself enough leash to play his way into better form.

  • Kings' Martin Chromiak: Tallies twice in AHL win

    Chromiak scored two goals in AHL Ontario's 3-0 win over Iowa on Sunday.

    Chromiak ended a five-game goal drought with the effort. The 23-year-old forward is up to 13 goals and 23 points over 32 appearances this season. That puts him on pace to top the 40-point mark for the first time in four full AHL campaigns, though it's likely not enough to have him at the front of the line for a call-up.

  • Kings' Erik Portillo: Earns shutout Sunday

    Portillo recorded a 19-save shutout in AHL Ontario's 3-0 win over Iowa on Sunday.

    Portillo recently missed time due to an injury sustained Nov. 12, and this was his first game back. He earned the third shutout of his AHL career with this effort. He's at a 6-1-1 record with a 2.01 GAA and a .922 save percentage across 10 appearances this season. Now that he's healthy, Portillo will compete with Pheonix Copley for playing time.

  • Kings' Alex Turcotte: Nabs helper in shootout win

    Turcotte notched an assist and blocked two shots in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over the Wild.

    Turcotte ended an 11-game point drought with the helper. The 24-year-old has gotten a boost in ice time since the Kings traded Phillip Danault to the Canadiens prior to the holiday break. That has opened up a third-line role for Turcotte, who now has seven points, 37 shots on net, 20 blocked shots, 17 PIM, 16 hits and a minus-7 rating over 39 appearances. While the third-line job is his for now, he'll need to do more with it than he has recently to avoid potentially losing the spot if the Kings go shopping ahead of the trade deadline.

  • Kings' Samuel Helenius: Lights lamp Saturday

    Helenius scored a goal in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over the Wild.

    Helenius put the Kings ahead 4-3 in the third period. He had just 4:34 of ice time in this contest, though he's been under the 10-minute mark in eight straight games. The 23-year-old is firmly on the fourth line, and his ability to play center is likely the only thing keeping him in the lineup regularly. The goal was his first point in 13 outings this season, to go with three shots on net, 28 hits, five PIM and an even plus-minus rating.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Kings' Corey Perry: Nets power-play goal

    Perry scored a power-play goal on four shots in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over the Wild.

    Perry is riding a four-game point streak (two goals, four assists), and he's earned four of those six points on the power play. The 40-year-old winger is up to nine goals, 21 points (nine on the power play), 65 shots on net, 14 hits, 36 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 34 outings this season. His offense may not be consistent from a fourth-line role, but he's still worth a look as a streaming option when he gets on a roll.
