Top Kings News

  • Kings' Andrei Kuzmenko: Goals in back-to-back games

    Kuzmenko scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Kraken.

    Kuzmenko has scored in consecutive contests, and he has four tallies over his last seven outings. The 29-year-old winger was a healthy scratch at times in November and December, but continuing to contribute offensively should help him stay in the lineup. He's now at seven goals, 11 points, 42 shots on net, 18 hits and a minus-3 rating over 31 appearances. Kuzmenko is still tough to trust in fantasy until he can prove himself over a longer stretch.

  • Kings' Kevin Fiala: Buries goal in loss

    Fiala scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Kraken.

    Fiala has three goals and three assists over his last nine games. The 29-year-old winger has moved around the lineup a bit recently as the Kings have been struggling to light the lamp. Fiala is at 13 goals, 24 points, 103 shots on net and a minus-5 rating through 36 appearances this season. He may need to carry the team offensively until other players work out of their slumps.

  • Kings' Pheonix Copley: Loses to Kraken

    Copley stopped 25 of 28 shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Kraken.

    This was Copley's season debut at the NHL level. He allowed all three goals during the second period, and the Kings' comeback effort came up one goal short. Copley will be in the NHL for as long as Darcy Kuemper (upper body) is out, but Anton Forsberg figures to see most of the time between the pipes for the Kings.

  • Kings' Pheonix Copley: Will start Tuesday

    Copley will protect the home goal versus the Kraken on Tuesday, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports.

    Copley will make his first NHL appearance of 2025-26 as the Kings play in the second half of a back-to-back. The 33-year-old will get a fairly easy assignment -- the Kraken have scored 14 goals over their last six contests and played Monday as well, earning a 3-1 win over the Ducks.

  • Kings' Andrei Kuzmenko: Pots goal vs. Blue Jackets

    Kuzmenko scored a goal in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Blue Jackets.

    Kuzmenko has found the back of the net in two of his last four games. Despite holding a bottom-six role, the 29-year-old winger has found ways to produce -- he has six goals and 10 points in 30 appearances this season.

  • Kings' Anton Forsberg: Gives up three goals

    Forsberg stopped 27 of 30 shots in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Blue Jackets.

    Forsberg has started the last four games for the Kings, but the results haven't been encouraging -- he has three losses in that span (1-3-0) and has allowed at least three goals in each of those defeats. The Swede netminder has made 13 starts this season, going 5-5-3 with a 2.73 GAA and a .901 save percentage. He should remain as the Kings' No. 1 netminder as long as Darcy Kuemper (upper body) remains on injured reserve.

  • Kings' Anton Forsberg: Drawing home start Monday

    Forsberg will be between the home pipes against Columbus on Monday, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

    Forsberg snapped his three-game losing streak in Tampa Bay on Thursday, turning aside 31 of 32 shots (.969 save percentage) in a 2-1 win. The Kings have been off since that contest, while Monday's matchup will conclude a brief two-game road trip for the Blue Jackets, who were shut out by a 4-0 score in Anaheim on Saturday. Columbus will be without Zach Werenski (lower body) in Los Angeles, which should play into Forsberg's favor, as Werenski (40 points) ranks second to only Cale Makar (43 points) in scoring among blueliners across the NHL this season. Furthermore, the Blue Jackets have dropped two straight games and seven of their last eight.

  • Kings' Jimmy Lombardi: Lands entry-level deal

    Lombardi agreed to terms on a three-year, entry-level contract with Los Angeles on Monday.

    Lombardi was selected by the Kings in the fourth round of the 2025 NHL Entry Draft and has been lighting it up in juniors. Through 33 games with OHL Flint, the 18-year-old center has racked up 21 goals and 20 helpers, which currently has him tied for third in goals in the OHL. He is committed to the University of Michigan for the 2026-27 season.

  • Kings' Andre Lee: Three points Saturday

    Lee scored twice and added an assist in AHL Ontario's 4-3 shootout loss to San Jose.

    Lee has six goals and four assists over his last nine outings. There could be a spot open on the Kings' NHL roster following Friday's trade of Phillip Danault to the Canadiens, and Lee should be in contention if Los Angeles makes a move. He's dominated the AHL to the tune of 11 goals and 12 helpers over 26 outings this season, which is already a career high in goals and points (23) for the 25-year-old forward. Lee would likely add some grit to the fourth line if he gets a call-up.

  • Kings' Corey Perry: Chips in with helper

    Perry logged an assist, two shots on goal and 12 PIM in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Lightning.

    Perry helped out on Adrian Kempe's game-tying tally at 5:21 of the second period. It's now been 18 games since Perry's last goal, though he has four assists, 31 shots on net and 18 PIM in that span. The agitating winger was never going to sustain his hot start to the year, but he's at a decent 15 points, 56 shots, 14 hits, 25 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 28 appearances. He does enough to be a streaming option in deeper formats.

  • Kings' Anton Forsberg: Sharp in win over Bolts

    Forsberg made 31 saves in a 2-1 win over the Lightning on Thursday.

    Forsberg is the man in the blue paint this week with Darcy Kuemper sidelined due to an upper-body injury. Forsberg made 26 saves Wednesday night in a 3-2 loss to the Panthers, and he drew the start in the second half of the back-to-back set as well. The Bolts put one power-play goal past him, which came on a rebound on a low-slot scramble. Forsberg is 5-4-3 with one shutout, 2.69 GAA and .901 save percentage in 2025-26. The win snapped the Kings' four-game losing streak (0-2-2).

  • Kings' Adrian Kempe: First multi-goal game of season

    Kempe scored twice in a 2-1 win over the Lightning on Thursday.

    Both goals came in the second period. Kempe's first came in the second period when he skated into the offensive zone and beat Andrei Vasilevskiy with a wrist shot from distance. Kempe's second came after he intercepted a Lightning pass in his own zone and took off, ultimately scoring on a short breakaway with a nifty backhand deke around Vasilevskiy's left pad. It was Kempe's first multi-goal game of the season. He has 13 goals, 17 assists and 99 shots in 34 games, and he's on pace for his third consecutive 70-plus point season.

  • Kings' Phillip Danault: Missing another game

    Danault (illness) won't play Thursday versus the Lightning, Jared Shafran of LAKingsInsider.com reports.

    Danault will miss his fourth straight game while dealing with the flu. The Kings next play Monday at home versus the Blue Jackets, which may give him enough time to recover and get back in the lineup. Alex Turcotte remains on the third line and Samuel Helenius stays in the lineup with Danault out Thursday.

  • Kings' Anton Forsberg: Tending twine Thursday

    Forsberg will start Thursday's road game versus the Lightning.

    Forsberg will start both halves of a back-to-back after he allowed three goals on 28 shots versus the Panthers on Wednesday. The 33-year-old will get the nod on consecutive days, as the Kings appear reluctant to allow Pheonix Copley to see the net in this tough matchup. After Thursday, the Kings will be off until Monday's home game versus the Blue Jackets, which is the start of another back-to-back set.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Kings' Kevin Fiala: Scores in Wednesday's loss

    Fiala scored a goal on three shots in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Panthers.

    Fiala got the Kings back within a goal, but they couldn't tie the game. The 29-year-old winger has two goals and three assists over his last six outings. For the season, he's at 12 goals, 23 points, 100 shots on net, 18 PIM and a minus-7 rating through 33 contests. He continues to play on the second line and first power-play unit.
