Edmundson notched an assist and went plus-3 in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Canucks.

The helper ended a six-game point drought for Edmundson. The 31-year-old dealt with an upper-body injury last weekend, but he's been fine over two games since he returned, logging his usual top-four minutes. The blueliner has 11 points, 47 shots on net, 61 hits, 58 blocked shots and a plus-15 rating through 38 appearances this season.

Anderson notched an assist and two blocked shots in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Canucks.

Anderson has four points over six outings in January, bucking the trend of the Kings' low-scoring offense this month. The 25-year-old defenseman helped out on the second of Alex Turcotte's tallies in this contest. Anderson is up to 14 points, 51 shots on net, 71 blocked shots, 63 hits and a plus-12 rating through 42 appearances. He's reached the 20-point mark just once in his career, but it's very much in play for Anderson in 2024-25.

Clarke logged an assist, two PIM and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Canucks.

Clarke's offense has dipped with the rest of the Kings' scoring in January -- he has just two assists over six games this month after finishing December with five assists over seven contests. The defenseman is up to three goals, 20 helpers, 82 shots on net, 75 blocked shots, 30 PIM and a plus-12 rating through 42 outings overall. Clarke continues to see steady power-play time and remains in a bottom-four role at even strength.

De Haan provided an assist and two blocked shots in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Oilers.

The helper ended an 11-game point drought for de Haan. The 33-year-old looks to have overtaken Sam Malinski for a spot in the lineup, though the bottom pairing of the Avalanche's defense could be in flux on a game-to-game basis depending on performance. For the season, de Haan has seven assists, 38 shots on net, 47 hits, 50 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 35 appearances.

Toews recorded an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Oilers.

Toews has a helper in back-to-back games after going three contests without a point. The top-pairing defenseman is up to 22 points, 77 shots on net, 54 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating over 42 appearances. He's earned five goals and four assists over his last nine outings. Toews' earlier slumps may have made him available in some fantasy formats -- check the waiver wire.

Nurse logged an assist, two hits, three blocked shots and two PIM in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Avalanche.

Nurse set up a Viktor Arvidsson tally in the first period. With two helpers over his last three contests, Nurse has found a little offense lately, though he's still gotten on the scoresheet in just three of his last 15 games. The defenseman is up to 19 points, 106 shots on net, 73 hits, 72 blocked shots, 30 PIM and a plus-9 rating over 42 appearances in a top-four role.

Kulak scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Avalanche.

Kulak scored for the first time since Nov. 30, a game which was also in Denver. Over the 20 contests between goals, the defenseman racked up six assists, four of which have been in his last seven outings. For the season, he's matched his career high with six goals while adding 10 assists, 73 shots on net, 69 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over 45 appearances.

Bouchard scored a goal on five shots, dished an assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Avalanche.

Bouchard got embarrassed on the Avalanche's third goal of the game. In the end, the 25-year-old blueliner was able to recover, helping out on Connor McDavid's game-tying goal in the second period before scoring the game-winner himself in the third. Bouchard has been steady in January with a goal and six helpers over eight contests. The defenseman has eight tallies, 35 points, 129 shots on net, 69 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating through 45 appearances this season.

Cole notched an assist and three blocked shots in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Rangers.

Cole had four assists over six outings from Dec. 23 to Jan. 4, but he had been held off the scoresheet in the four subsequent contests. The 35-year-old was able to snap that slump Thursday when he helped out on Matias Maccelli's opening tally 1:01 into the game. Cole is up to 13 points, 44 shots on net, 41 PIM, 52 hits, 127 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 44 appearances in a top-four role this season.

Sergachev notched an assist, two shots on goal, two blocked shots, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Rangers.

Sergachev had gone three games without a point entering Thursday. That matches his longest drought of the season, which occurred Oct. 19-24. The 26-year-old continues to be a steady producer in a top-pairing role -- he's at 30 points, 72 shots on net, 81 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a minus-11 rating through 44 appearances. Sergachev has reached the 30-point mark in seven of his eight full NHL campaigns, the lone exception being his injury-riddled 2023-24.
