Kings' Brandt Clarke: Gets first goal of season
Brandt Clarke scored a goal and added an assist in a 3-2 win over Utah on Saturday.He got his first goal of 2024-25 during a second-period power play for the Los Angeles Kings.

Kings' Brandt Clarke: Sends helper in win
Brandt Clarke notched an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Sharks.Clarke had been held off the scoresheet in the previous three games, which earned him a drop back to the third pairing. The 21-year-old blueliner looks set to compete with Jordan Spence all season for premium minutes. Clarke has done well early on with five assists, 13 shots on net and 14 blocked shots, but he also has a minus-1 rating and 12 PIM through eight contests. Taking too many penalties could lead to a reduced role.

Kings' Brandt Clarke: Huge day on power play
Brandt Clarke notched three power-play assists in Monday's 8-7 overtime loss to the Senators.The two teams combined for seven goals with the man advantage, and Clarke had a hand in all three of the Los Angeles Kings' power-play tallies to record his first points of the season. The 21-year-old blueliner worked on the top power-play unit Monday, and his big performance could allow him to hang onto that plum assignment as long as Drew Doughty (ankle) remains sidelined. Jordan Spence is Clarke's main competition for time with the man advantage.

Kings' Brandt Clarke: Gets into lineup, scores
Brandt Clarke scored a goal in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Canucks.The Los Angeles Kings opted to play seven defensemen Thursday, with Clarke stepping in for forward Arthur Kaliyev. While it's a positive Clarke played after sitting out two games as a healthy scratch, he saw a meager 7:06 of ice time in the blowout win, as interim head coach Jim Hiller didn't alter his regular defense pairings much. It's fair to say Clarke has earned more time with two goals, four assists, 29 shots on net and 20 blocked shots over 13 appearances this season, especially with all but one of those points coming in his last seven outings. If the Kings go back to six defensemen Sunday versus the Devils, it's unclear which one of Clarke, Jordan Spence, Andreas Englund or Jacob Moverare will come out of the lineup.
