Kings' Jordan Spence: Helps out on power play
Jordan Spence logged a power-play assist and two PIM in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Wild.Spence has two assists over his last three games, but that follows a stretch of no points across 16 contests. The 23-year-old has started to see more regular power-play time again on the second unit over the last couple of weeks. He's now at six points (two on the power play), 29 shots on net, 31 blocked shots, 29 hits, 10 PIM and a plus-4 rating through 26 outings overall. Spence will likely continue to see bottom-four usage overall, and with the Los Angeles Kings leaning on seven-defensemen lineups lately, he could be in line for an even smaller role than usual.

Kings' Jordan Spence: Sticking in lineup amid slump
Jordan Spence was held off the scoresheet for the 15th game in a row in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Jets.Spence has 22 shots on net, 18 blocked shots and 16 hits over that span. There's good news to be had -- he's stayed in the lineup regularly and has maintained a power-play role on the second unit, but he was battling with Brandt Clarke for time on the first unit in October. For now, the Los Angeles Kings are rolling with a five-forward configuration on the first unit. Spence had four points over his first seven outings of the season, so there's room for optimism that he can turn things around.

Kings' Jordan Spence: Earns power-play assist
Jordan Spence notched a power-play assist, two hits, three blocked shots and two PIM in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Sabres.The big question on the Los Angeles Kings' blue line was who would step up in the absence of Drew Doughty (ankle), and the answer through one game is Spence. The 23-year-old logged 22:07 of ice time and also skated with the first power-play unit. That latter role could eventually go to Brandt Clarke, but this is Spence's chance to solidify himself in the Kings' lineup after producing 24 points over 71 regular-season outings a year ago. Spence is worth a speculative add in most fantasy formats.
