Kings' Brandt Clarke: Ends five-game slump
Brandt Clarke notched an assist, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Rangers.Clarke had been held off the scoresheet over his previous five games, his second slump of that length in the last month. He's slowed down from his early scoring pace, and his ice time has dropped due to the Los Angeles Kings regularly deploying seven defensemen lately. The 21-year-old is at three goals, 14 assists, 65 shots on net, 58 blocked shots, 22 PIM and a plus-6 rating over 30 appearances. He still has some upside because of his power-play role, but Clarke has been a gamble offensively.

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.

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.

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.
