Kuzmenko scored a goal on four shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Rangers.

Kuzmenko ended a seven-game goal drought with his tally at 12:37 of the second period. That goal also stood as the game-winner. The 29-year-old winger has been streaky at times, though he's racked up 12 points over his last 18 outings since he was scratched Dec. 13 versus the Flames. He now has 10 goals, 20 points, 59 shots on net, 18 hits and a minus-2 rating through 44 appearances this season.

Kempe scored a goal on four shots in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Rangers.

Kempe has scored in consecutive games and now has four goals and two assists over 11 outings in January. While that's not great production, he at least looks to be building momentum. The 29-year-old forward is up to 17 goals, 38 points, 137 shots on net, 91 hits, 42 PIM and a plus-6 rating over 49 appearances in a top-line role this season.

Fiala scored a goal, added an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Rangers.

Fiala has two goals and three assists over his last four contests. The 29-year-old winger is up to 18 goals, 36 points, 138 shots on net, 30 hits, 30 PIM and a minus-7 rating through 49 appearances. Fiala continues to be an important part of the Kings' offense, especially while Anze Kopitar (lower body) and Trevor Moore (upper body) are out, leaving the team a bit thin at forward.

Forsberg stopped 27 of 28 shots in relief of Darcy Kuemper (upper body) in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Rangers.

Forsberg entered the game late in the first period after Kuemper left following some contact in the crease. The 33-year-old Forsberg was excellent over the final two frames, limiting the Rangers to only J.T. Miller's goal with 27 seconds left in the third period. Should Kuemper miss time, Forsberg would resume the No. 1 role as he did for a couple of weeks in December during Kuemper's previous absence. With the win, Forsberg is up to 8-6-4 with a 2.56 GAA and a .907 save percentage through 19 appearances. The Kings' next matchup is Saturday in St. Louis to begin a six-game road trip, so fantasy managers have some time to see how Kuemper's injury situation plays out before rushing to add Forsberg.

Savoie scored a goal on two shots in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Devils.

Savoie had gone 16 games without a goal, picking up just three assists with 15 shots on net in that span. The 22-year-old continues to be a regular in the Oilers' lineup, though he's often been in a bottom-six role lately. He's now at eight goals, 16 points, 67 shots on net, 25 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating across 51 appearances in his first full NHL campaign.

Jarry allowed two goals on 17 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Devils.

A flurry of action saw all three goals in the game scored in a span of 3:09 during the second period. Jarry was bested by Arseny Gritsyuk and Cody Glass at the start and end of that sequence, and the Oilers' offense came up unusually flat. The 30-year-old Jarry dropped to 13-4-2 with a 2.61 GAA and a .908 save percentage across 20 appearances this season. The Oilers are set to host the Penguins on Thursday, but Jarry has not played consecutive contests yet since returning from a lower-body injury, so it's unclear if he'll get the nod versus his former team. Jarry defeated the Penguins with a 26-save effort in a 6-4 win Dec. 16 in Pittsburgh, just four days after he was traded to Edmonton.

Brown logged an assist and two PIM in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Oilers.

Brown had opened January with no points and 11 shots on net over nine games. He had the secondary helper on a Cody Glass goal at 8:32 of the second period, which was ultimately the game-winner. Brown is up to 18 points, 59 shots on net, 24 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through 43 appearances. He's roughly on pace to match the 30-point regular season he put forth in 82 games with the Oilers last year.

Gritsyuk scored a goal, added an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Oilers.

Gritsyuk ended a seven-game point drought with this effort, which was his first multi-point outing since Dec. 9 versus the Senators. The 24-year-old rookie is up to nine goals, 20 points, 103 shots on net, 42 hits and a minus-5 rating over 46 appearances. He's mainly functioned as a middle-six option this season, though he was listed on the fourth line for this contest.

Glass scored a goal on four shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Oilers.

Glass set up Arseny Gritsyuk's opening tally at 5:23 of the second period. The two reversed roles a few minutes later, with Glass's goal ultimately being the game-winner. The 26-year-old center has four goals and two assists over his last six contests. For the season, Glass is up to 11 goals, four helpers, 68 shots on net, 29 hits, 19 blocked shots, 23 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 39 appearances.

Allen stopped 22 of 23 shots in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Oilers.

Allen hadn't played in the Devils' last four games. He lost his previous three outings, but he bounced back in a big way Tuesday, limiting the damage to a Matt Savoie goal in the second period. With the win, Allen improved to 12-11-1 with a 2.61 GAA and a .908 save percentage over 25 appearances. The Devils close out the road trip with a pair of favorable matchups, as they visit the Canucks on Friday and the Kraken on Sunday.
