• Kings' Andrei Kuzmenko: Scores PP goal vs. Dallas

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Kuzmenko scored a power-play goal in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Stars. Kuzmenko found the back of the net at the 11:03 mark of the second period to give the Kings a 1-0 lead, but the Stars would turn things around after scoring four unanswered goals the rest of the way. This was Kuzmenko's fifth goal of the season, and it's worth noting that four of those have come on the power play. Through 27 appearances, the 29-year-old winger has nine points (five goals, four assists), so he shouldn't carry a lot of upside even if he plays as a top-six forward.

• Kings' Andrei Kuzmenko: Tallies on power play

  15D ago • By RotoWire

  Kuzmenko scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Blackhawks. Kuzmenko ended an 11-game point drought with the second-period tally. In that stretch, he was also scratched three times. The 29-year-old's pattern of initially dominating with a team and then fading into inconsistency has continued with the Kings, who are currently deploying him on the fourth line and second power-play unit. He has just four goals, four assists, 33 shots on net, 17 hits and a minus-3 rating across 25 outings this year.

• Kings' Andrei Kuzmenko: Breaks up shutout bid

  11/02/2025 • By RotoWire

  Kuzmenko scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Devils. Kuzmenko scored at 9:49 of the third period to break up Jacob Markstrom's shutout bid. The tally ended a three-game point drought for Kuzmenko. The 29-year-old winger has been fine on offense early in 2025-26, posting three goals, four assists, 19 shots on net, 13 hits and a plus-2 rating over 13 appearances. He's still in a top-line role and can go on hot streaks, so there's some upside for fantasy managers in search of offense.

• Kings' Andrei Kuzmenko: Strikes on power play

  10/19/2025 • By RotoWire

  Kuzmenko scored a power-play goal on two shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Hurricanes. Kuzmenko has two power-play goals and four total points through six games this season. The absence of Anze Kopitar (foot, week-to-week) won't help Kuzmenko's productivity, though the Kings as a whole have been somewhat underwhelming so far. In addition to his four points, the 29-year-old winger has accumulated nine shots on net, nine hits and a plus-1 rating while seeing top-six minutes and power-play time. He won't stay that physical all season, but he should provide decent offense.

• Kings' Andrei Kuzmenko: Provides pair of points

  10/09/2025 • By RotoWire

  Kuzmenko scored a power-play goal on two shots, added an assist and logged two hits in Wednesday's 6-5 shootout win over the Golden Knights. Kuzmenko opened the scoring just 4:41 into the game, and he had a hand in Brandt Clarke's game-tying goal in the third period. However, after the tying goal, Kuzmenko received just two shifts. The 29-year-old is penciled in on the top line and showed some talent late in 2024-25 in that spot alongside Anze Kopitar and Adrian Kempe. Kuzmenko will need to showcase his skill without dipping in performance, as head coach Jim Hiller could give another winger a look in his spot if he slumps too long at any point in the year.
