  14D ago • By RotoWire

  Edmundson logged an assist and two blocked shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets. Edmundson snapped a four-game point drought when he had a shot attempt tipped in by Alex Laferriere in the third period. The 31-year-old Edmundson already has six points over 14 outings this season, matching his point total from 53 games regular-season games between the Capitals and Maple Leafs last year. The defenseman has added 16 shots on net, 23 hits, 25 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating as a key defensive presence on the Kings' blue line.

• Kings' Joel Edmundson: Nets goal in win

  24D ago • By RotoWire

  Edmundson scored a goal, added four PIM and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Golden Knights. Edmundson stretched the Kings' lead to 6-1 in the third period. The defenseman has tallied three times over the last three games, matching his highest total in goals in the last four years. He's looked comfortable in a top-four role so far, earning five points, 14 shots on net, 15 hits, 16 blocked shots, eight PIM and a plus-2 rating. Edmundson has reached the 20-point mark just once in his first nine NHL campaigns, so his scoring pace is likely to slow down, though he should still offer plenty of production in the physical categories.

• Kings' Joel Edmundson: First goals of season

  28D ago • By RotoWire

  Edmundson scored twice Saturday in a 3-2 victory over Utah. He also had two hits, three blocks and three shots. Edmundson looked the part of a sniper on the first goal of the season, wiring a one-timer from below the left circle as he slid on one knee. His second was a slapper from the point through traffic early in the third that stood as the winner. Edmundson doesn't have a reputation as a scorer, with his career mark of seven goals coming in 2017-18 and 2019-20. Still, the Kings had to redistribute some responsibility on the blue line with Drew Doughty (ankle) unavailable, so it was positive to see Edmundson contribute. Count on triple-digit hits and blocks from Edmundson, and take any points as a bonus.

• Kings' Joel Edmundson: Earns assist Tuesday

  10/23/2024 • By RotoWire

  Edmundson notched an assist, three shots on goal, four hits, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-1 loss to the Golden Knights. Edmundson picked up his first point in two games after he missed two contests to attend to a family matter. The 31-year-old defenseman has two helpers, nine shots on net, nine hits, 10 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over five appearances this season, but his defensive performance wasn't great Tuesday. He's unlikely to score enough to help in fantasy.
