Panarin scored a goal on four shots in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Canucks.

Panarin scored in the final minute of the second period, likely putting a pin in any comeback effort the Canucks could have attempted. The 34-year-old winger saw his six-game point streak end Tuesday versus the Flames, but he continues to deliver in a top-line role for the Kings. He has 18 points in 16 games since he was traded to Los Angeles, giving him 26 goals, 49 assists, 204 shots on net and a minus-10 rating over 68 appearances this season.

Moore scored a goal on five shots, added a power-play assist and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Canucks.

This was Moore's first multi-point effort since Nov. 28 versus the Ducks. He has three goals and five helpers over his last 11 contests while primarily filling a second-line role. His helper Thursday was his first power-play point of the campaign as well. He's at 10 goals, 24 points, 131 shots on net, 48 hits, 30 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 59 appearances.

Byfield scored an empty-net goal on four shots, dished a power-play assist, added two PIM, logged two hits and went plus-3 in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Canucks.

Byfield picked up his third straight multi-point effort with this performance. He set up Scott Laughton's first-period tally before depositing an empty-netter in the third. With the recent surge, Byfield is up to 18 goals, 42 points, 152 shots on net, 55 hits, 37 blocked shots, 42 PIM and a minus-6 rating over 69 appearances. He continues to look steady in a top-six role with ice time in all situations.

Kuemper posted a 19-save shutout in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Canucks.

Kuemper didn't have a lot of work to do against the NHL's worst team, and he took care of business while facing his lightest workload in any outing in March. He's now 4-1-4 this month, and that ability to salvage points is keeping the Kings in the playoff race -- they're one point back of the Predators for the second wild-card spot through Thursday's action. This was Kuemper's third shutout of the season, and he improved to 18-13-13 with a 2.60 GAA and an .899 save percentage over 46 appearances. The Kings have a pivotal matchup versus the Mammoth on Saturday, and Kuemper will likely be playing a lot as long as the Kings remain the hunt.

Lankinen stopped 34 of 37 shots in Thursday's 4-0 loss to the Kings. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Lankinen took his fourth loss in a row. He's allowed 15 goals on 121 shots in that span. The Canucks have given him just six goals of support during this skid, so it doesn't look like he's going to get much help. The 30-year-old dropped to 8-25-5 with a 3.62 GAA and an .877 save percentage over 41 appearances this season. Lankinen may have the playing time, but he's best avoided in most fantasy formats. The Canucks are set to head out on a road trip, beginning Saturday in Calgary.

Barbashev scored a goal on three shots, dished an assist, levied five hits and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Oilers.

Barbashev has two goals and three assists during his four-game point streak. His contributions Thursday were his first even-strength points during the streak. The 30-year-old winger is up to 21 goals, 52 points, 120 shots on net, 121 hits, 35 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating over 73 appearances. Barbashev continues to be a quality fantasy option given his top-line status for the Golden Knights.

Stone scored twice on four shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Oilers.

Stone had been limited to two assists, both coming March 14 against Chicago, over his last seven outings. He got back in the goal column with a pair of second-period tallies, though the Oilers had a quick response for each one. Stone is up to 23 goals, 64 points, 110 shots on net, 40 blocked shots and a plus-13 rating over 51 appearances this season. He was shooting 22.8 percent prior to the Olympic break, but he's down to 20.9 percent thanks to his recent slump, which is regression that could be tough to shake off late in the campaign.

Hill stopped 25 of 29 shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Oilers.

This was the first time in 10 outings where Hill allowed more than three goals. He's made good progress in that area, but he's still just 4-5-1 in that span. Hill is 9-9-4 with a 3.07 GAA and an .868 save percentage over 24 appearances this season. While he's not getting stellar results, the Golden Knights don't have anyone better, so expect the 29-year-old to continue operating in the starting role. The Golden Knights host the Capitals on Saturday.

Savoie scored a goal on four shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.

Savoie has scored in back-to-back games and has five points over his last seven outings. He's getting top-line usage at even strength and making the most of his opportunity alongside Connor McDavid, who set up his first-period tally Thursday. Savoie is up to 13 goals, 30 points, 112 shots on net and a plus-2 rating over 73 appearances this season. He's earned 12 of his points over the last 15 contests since the Olympic break.

Hyman scored a goal on two shots, added four PIM and logged two hits in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Golden Knights.

With the tally, Hyman returned to the 30-goal mark for the third time in four seasons. The 33-year-old winger has earned three goals and an assist over his last six contests. For the season, he's up to 48 points, 154 shots on net, 49 hits, 26 PIM and a plus-10 rating over 54 appearances.
