Kings' Joel Edmundson: Nets goal in win
Joel Edmundson scored a goal, added four PIM and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Golden Knights.Edmundson stretched the Los Angeles 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
Joel 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 Los Angeles 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.

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.

Kings' Joel Edmundson: Contributes assist in season opener
Joel Edmundson logged an assist, two blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Sabres.Edmundson was signed to a three-year in July, making him a virtual lock for the third pairing. The veteran defenseman isn't known to put up significant scoring numbers, nor has he been able to play a high number of games. Last season, he was limited to six points, 80 hits and 65 blocked shots over 53 games between the Capitals and the Maple Leafs. He saw 20:38 of ice time in his Los Angeles Kings debut, and he could be in line for more minutes while Drew Doughty (ankle) is out, but Edmundson offers minimal fantasy upside.

Maple Leafs' Joel Edmundson: Posts rare helper in loss
Joel Edmundson recorded an assist in Game 3 against the Bruins on Wednesday in a 4-2 home loss.Edmundson rushed toward the attacking zone after John Tavares sent a crisp pass his way from center ice, and it led to a Matthew Knies goal courtesy of a Mitch Marner helper. Still, since the Leafs are down 2-1 to Boston in the Conference Quarterfinals and are averaging just 2.00 goals per contest, this team needs to pick up the pace offensively. Edmundson isn't expected to do much in that area as a third-pairing defenseman without a role on the power play.
