Kings' Darcy Kuemper: Game-time call Thursday
Kuemper (illness) is expected to be a game-time decision for Thursday's home matchup against the Islanders, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
Kuemper wasn't available for Monday's 4-2 loss to Colorado due to his illness. He has a 14-12-9 record, 2.68 GAA and .897 save percentage across 37 outings in 2025-26. The Kings currently have two goaltenders on the roster between him and Anton Forsberg, so Los Angeles will probably recall a netminder from the minors if Kuemper isn't an option Thursday. It's also possible that Kuemper will end up dressing as the backup if he's feeling better but still isn't 100 percent.

Kings' Vojtech Cihar: Registers trio of helpers
Cihar posted three assists in WHL Kelowna's 5-2 win over Spokane on Wednesday.
Cihar had gone two games without a goal prior to Wednesday. The Kings prospect is up to 21 points in 23 appearances for the Rockets this season. Cihar has impressed so far, but the 18-year-old winger will likely need more development time, either in the WHL or on loan in Europe, before he'll be NHL-ready.

Kings' Jared Wright: Gets two goals in AHL return
Wright scored twice in AHL Ontario's 4-1 win over Tucson on Wednesday.
Wright was demoted from the Kings' roster earlier in the day, but he looks motivated to work his way back to the NHL. The 23-year-old reached the 30-point mark in the AHL with this effort, a mark he reached in 54 contests. Wright made his NHL debut Monday, and even if he doesn't get back to the big club this season, he should get a long look in the fall during training camp.

Kings' Drew Doughty: Set to return Thursday
Doughty (lower body) is slated to return for Thursday's game against the Islanders, Dennis Bernstein of The Fourth Period reports.
Doughty missed the last two games due to a lower-body injury, but he's set to return to action against the Islanders. Across 19 appearances since the start of the calendar year, he's recorded an assist, 18 PIM, 14 blocked shots, nine hits and a minus-10 rating while averaging 22:59 of ice time.

Kings' Quinton Byfield: Won't return Thursday
Byfield (upper body) is expected to miss Thursday's game against the Islanders, per Dennis Bernstein of The Fourth Period.
Byfield was also absent for Monday's 4-2 loss to Colorado because of the injury. He has 13 goals and 33 points across 58 appearances in the 2025-26 campaign. Kenny Connors should remain in the lineup until Byfield is ready to return. However, Byfield could be out for longer as a potential injured reserve candidate.

Kings' Trevor Moore: Set to play Thursday
Moore (illness) is expected back in the lineup for Thursday's clash with the Islanders, Dennis Bernstein of The Fourth Period reports.
Moore hasn't offered much offensively of late, garnering two goals, one assist and 20 shots in his last 10 outings. Despite the lack of offensive production, Moore looks set to jump back into a second-line role alongside Alex Turcotte. At this point, Moore figures to miss the 40-point threshold for the first time in the last three years.

Kings' Jacob Moverare: Back on roster
Moverare (personal) has been activated off the non-roster list Wednesday.
Moverare has spent more time in the press box as a healthy scratch this season than actually on the bench, logging just 15 games. In those outings, the 27-year-old defenseman has failed to get on the scoresheet, chipping in seven shots, three hits and 12 blocks while averaging 8:47 of ice time.

Kings' Jared Wright: Sent back to minors
Wright was returned to AHL Ontario on Wednesday, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports.
Wright made his NHL debut Monday against Colorado, racking up three hits in 9:42 of ice time in a 4-2 loss. He'll be available for Ontario during Wednesday's game against Tucson, but it's not yet clear whether he'll rejoin the NHL club in the near future. Over 53 appearances with the Reign this year, he's recorded 15 goals, 13 assists, 11 PIM and a plus-25 rating.

Kings' Erik Portillo: Sent back to AHL
Portillo was loaned back to AHL Ontario on Tuesday, per John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio.
Portillo has a 14-3-1 record, a 2.47 GAA and a .905 save percentage across 20 AHL appearances this season. His return to the minors might be an indication that Darcy Kuemper (illness) will be available for Thursday's home game against the Islanders. If Kuemper ends up needing more time, though, then Portillo might find himself back in the NHL. In the meantime, Ontario is set to host AHL Tucson on Wednesday.

Kings' Angus Booth: Shipped back to minors
Booth was reassigned to AHL Ontario on Tuesday, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports.
Booth's demotion would seem to indicate that Drew Doughty (lower body) will be back in time to face the Islanders on Thursday -- though the Reign do play Wednesday, which would allow Booth to be brought back up for Thursday's tilt. In his NHL debut Monday, the 21-year-old Booth found the back of the net on his one shot on goal.

Kings' Angus Booth: Scores in NHL debut
Booth scored a goal and added two hits in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche.
Booth was able to find the twine in his NHL debut. The 21-year-old defenseman's stay on the Kings' roster could be short, as he's filling in while Drew Doughty (lower body) is hurt and Jacob Moverare (personal) is away from the team. Booth has 10 points in 43 outings with AHL Ontario this season, so it's not likely he'll produce sustained offense during his NHL time.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Gives up three goals
Forsberg stopped 35 of 38 shots in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche. The fourth goal was an empty-netter with two seconds left in the game.
Forsberg has been struggling of late, and while Monday's game was a tough test, he was still beaten three times, though his .921 save percentage suggests his performance wasn't all that bad. The Swedish netminder has racked up three losses in his last five outings, and that includes the 8-1 loss to the Oilers in which he allowed four goals in relief. Forsberg owns a 3.45 GAA and .894 save percentage in four appearances since the league resumed following the Olympics.

Kings' Brandt Clarke: Scores PP goal Monday
Clarke scored a power-play goal in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche.
Clarke made it a 2-1 game at the 17:20 mark of the first period after burying a wrister past Mackenzie Blackwood, but the Avalanche would turn things around late in the game. It was Clarke's eighth goal of the campaign. The 23-year-old blueliner is on the verge of setting a new career-high mark in points. His previous best output was 33 points in 78 regular-season contests in 2024-25, but he's up to 30 points (eight goals, eight assists) in 60 appearances this term. As a member of the top defensive pairing in both even-strength and power-play situations, it seems it'll only be a matter of time before Clarke surpasses that 33-point threshold.

Kings' Quinton Byfield: Not in lineup against Colorado
Byfield (upper body) is not playing in Monday's home matchup versus the Avalanche, according to Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.
Byfield will miss just his second game of the season Monday. Jared Wright and Kenny Connors are set to make their NHL debuts against Colorado due to several injuries the team is dealing with up front. The Kings will have a few days between their next game, which is at home Thursday against the Islanders.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Set to start Monday
Forsberg will be between the home pipes Monday against the Avalanche, per the NHL media site.
Forsberg is coming off his best performance of the season -- he posted a 29-save shutout in Saturday's 2-0 win over Calgary. Prior to that game, he had allowed at least four goals in three straight appearances, a stretch in which he went 0-2-0 with 13 goals allowed on 68 shots (.809 save percentage). The 33-year-old will have his hands full Monday against the league's top team, as the Avalanche rank first in the NHL in both goals per game (3.79) and shots per game (34.2).

Kings' Jacob Moverare: Given non-roster playing status
Moverare (personal) was designated as a non-roster player Monday.
Moverare has been a frequent healthy scratch this season -- he has no points while averaging 8:47 of ice time over 15 appearances. Angus Booth, who was recalled from AHL Ontario ahead of Monday's game against the Avalanche, is poised to make his NHL debut on the third pairing as a result of Moverare and Drew Doughty (lower body) being unavailable.

Kings' Angus Booth: Called up Monday
Booth was recalled from AHL Ontario on Monday, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports.
Booth has been shuffled between the AHL and NHL over the past few days, as he was recalled by the Kings on Saturday before being sent back down Sunday. He'll rejoin Los Angeles a day after being sent down. The 21-year-old hasn't yet made his NHL debut, but he's recorded a goal, nine assists and 26 PIM over 43 appearances with Ontario this year.

Kings' Joel Armia: Shifts to IR
Armia (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Monday, per the NHL media site.
The Kings recalled Jared Wright from AHL Ontario in a corresponding move. Armia will miss his second straight game against Colorado on Monday. He also won't be an option to play against the Islanders on Thursday. It remains unclear when he will return to the lineup. He has 10 goals, 20 points, 66 shots on net and 55 hits in 53 appearances this season.
