Anderson notched an assist, two shots on goal, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Bruins.

Anderson is one point shy of reaching the 20-point mark for the second time in his career. The 25-year-old helped out on Drew Doughty's game-winning tally in the second period in this contest, which ended a seven-game point drought for Anderson. The top-four defenseman has six goals, 13 helpers, 75 shots on net, 102 hits, 110 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating over 65 outings this season. His physicality can help in some fantasy formats, but his offense is fairly pedestrian even in what's likely to end up being a career year.

Spence logged an assist in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Bruins.

Spence has three assists over his last seven outings, and he's posted a plus-5 rating in that span. The 24-year-old has been limited to bottom-four minutes in March, which puts some risk into his profile for fantasy, especially if he has some shifts skipped in closer games. For the season, Spence has been solid with 23 points, 73 shots on net, 64 hits, 68 blocked shots and a plus-16 rating over 67 appearances. He's one point shy of matching his total from 71 contests in 2023-24.

Edmundson notched two assists, three blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Bruins.

Edmundson was a little late to the weekend's scoring party. The Kings won games over the Hurricanes and Bruins by matching 7-2 scores, and it took until 9:20 of the third period in Sunday's contest for Edmundson to get involved when he helped out on a Tanner Jeannot goal. The 31-year-old blueliner has chipped in five points over his last eight outings, and he also has a plus-9 rating in that span. For the season, the shutdown defenseman has displayed more offense than usual with 19 points over 65 appearances. He's added 84 shots on net, 100 blocks, 90 hits and a plus-25 rating.

Clarke notched a pair of assists, two blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Bruins.

Clarke had been limited to one helper over his previous six contests. The 22-year-old didn't get in on the fun in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Hurricanes, but he didn't waste his second chance when the Kings copied that score line Sunday. The defenseman has been decent in his first NHL campaign, earning 30 points, 110 shots on net, 107 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating over 65 appearances. For now, it looks like Clarke's place in the lineup is secure over the likes of Jacob Moverare and Kyle Burroughs.

Doughty scored the game-winning goal, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Bruins.

Doughty has two goals and five assists over his last nine outings. His tally Sunday was his first game-winner of the season, as the Kings didn't look back following his goal 8:46 into the second period. The defenseman has three goals, 12 points, 33 shots on net, 37 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 21 appearances. His overall numbers are low due to him missing nearly four months due to a broken ankle, but the 35-year-old's scoring pace is in line with recent seasons.

Raddysh notched an assist in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Raddysh is still a scratch on occasion, but he's been excellent when in the lineup in March. He has two goals and seven assists over 11 appearances this month. The 29-year-old defenseman is up to 32 points -- one shy of matching his career high from 2023-24 -- and he's added 99 shots on net, 59 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 61 contests.

Hedman logged a power-play assist, two shots on goal and a minus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Golden Knights.

Hedman had been held off the scoresheet in the previous three games. That drought almost reached four, but he was able to help out on a Nikita Kucherov tally just before the third-period buzzer. The 34-year-old Hedman is up to 54 points (22 on the power play), 158 shots on net, 114 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating over 67 appearances. It's likely his best seasons have already happened, but Hedman remains a formidable scoring force from the blue line, especially as the quarterback of the Lightning's top-five power play, which is clicking at 25.8 percent this season.

Whitecloud notched an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Lightning.

Whitecloud has three helpers and a plus-8 rating over 14 contests since the 4 Nations Face-Off break. He's been tasked with a larger defensive role in that stretch to help cover the absence of Shea Theodore (arm). Whitecloud is up to 12 points, 63 shots on net, 95 hits, 87 blocked shots, 35 PIM and a plus-7 rating through a career-high 63 games this season. He's on pace to finish right around his 14-point total from the 2023-24 regular season, though it took him just 61 outings to accumulate that production last year.

Pietrangelo notched two assists in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Lightning.

Pietrangelo has played well lately with a goal and five assists over his last six contests. The defenseman helped out on tallies by Nicolas Roy (on the power play) and Nicolas Hague in Sunday's win. For the season, Pietrangelo is up to 32 points (two on the power play), 119 shots on net, 131 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating across 67 appearances. He's steady defensively and chips in enough offense from a top-four role to be a fine fantasy blueliner.

Hague scored an empty-net goal in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Lightning.

Hague unleashed a long-range shot that found the open twine after the Lightning pulled Andrei Vasilevskiy while trying for a late rally. This was Hague's first goal and second point over 11 outings in March. The 26-year-old defenseman remains a steady presence in the lineup, but he's in a bottom-four role most of the time, giving him little chance of contributing on offense. He's matched his career high with five goals but has added just six assists, 69 shots on net, 67 hits, 64 blocked shots, 40 PIM and a minus-4 rating over 59 appearances this season.
