Englund has been scratched for seven of the Kings' first 10 games in November after sitting out Saturday's 2-1 win over the Kraken. Englund doesn't add much outside of toughness, and his ice time has been under 10 minutes in each of his last three appearances. The Kings have been more willing to give Jacob Moverare a look on the third pairing. Englund has a goal, 17 hits, 12 PIM and five blocked shots over eight outings this season, and with another tough guy in Kyle Burroughs also on the outside looking in, Englund's unlikely to see steady playing time.

Englund scored a goal on one shot with five hits and two PIM in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Canadiens. Englund's wrister caught Sam Montembeault leaning the wrong way to give the Kings a 3-1 lead late in the third period. It was the first goal of the season for Englund, who entered 2024-25 with just one goal over six NHL seasons. He's filled in for Joel Edmundson (personal) over the last two games and has logged nine hits in his two starts.

Englund recorded an assist in a 4-3 defeat to Edmonton in Game 5 on Wednesday. Englund registered his first point since March 15 versus the Blackhawks, a stretch of 20 games without writing his name on the scoresheet. In 82 games during the regular season, the 28-year-old blueliner managed one goal and nine helpers, reaching the 10-point threshold for the first time in his NHL career. Fantasy players probably shouldn't be expecting much more out of Englund heading into the 2024-25 campaign.

Englund produced an assist and went plus-2 in Friday's 5-0 win over the Blackhawks. Englund's offensive contributions remain limited -- he has just three assists over 18 games since the start of February. The 28-year-old remains in a third-pairing role, but with the Kings favoring seven-defensemen lineups lately, his usage has decreased a bit. It's still been a career year for Englund, who has 10 points, 35 shots on net, 158 hits, 73 blocked shots, 63 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 66 outings.

Englund posted an assist in Saturday's 5-4 overtime win over the Bruins. Englund's secondary assist led to the Kings' first goal, and it marked his first point since Nov. 29. He's unlocked offensive career highs by virtue of playing more often than ever, adding a goal and seven assists through 52 games, but Englund's 57 blocked shots and 128 hits are the more significant metrics from a player evaluation standpoint.
