Kings' Brandt Clarke: Good to go
Clarke (upper body) is expected to play against Buffalo on Saturday, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.
Clarke exited Thursday's 6-5 overtime win over Ottawa, but he participated in Friday's practice and won't miss additional time due to the upper-body injury. He has earned three goals, nine points, 21 shots on net, 28 blocked shots and three hits in 12 appearances this season.

Kings' Brandt Clarke: Exits with upper-body injury
Clarke (upper body) won't return to Thursday's game versus the Senators.
Clarke was ruled out for the remainder of the game early in the third period. The 23-year-old defenseman's exit may at least partially be cautionary after the tenor of the game turned contentious. Clarke will be day-to-day leading into Saturday's contest versus the Sabres.

Kings' Brandt Clarke: Bags goal Monday
Clarke scored a goal and recorded four blocked shots in Monday's 6-3 win over the Rangers.
Clarke nearly had two goals Monday, but he had a tally called back in the second period due to interference. The 23-year-old defenseman is up to three goals, eight points, 21 PIM, 20 shots on net and 24 blocked shots across 10 appearances this season. All three of his goals have arrived in the Kings' last six games, which have helped him display a side of his game that he's slowly improved across his five seasons at the NHL level. With the Kings getting back on track in all phases of the game, Clarke should continue to play a large role both on the power play and at even strength, making him a solid fantasy option in most league formats.

Kings' Brandt Clarke: Two points including OT winner
Clarke scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Thursday's 3-2 overtime victory over the Islanders.
After having a hand in an Artemi Panarin tally early in the first period that opened the scoring, Clarke ended things by wiring a shot past Semyon Varlamov from the faceoff dot. Clarke has fully assumed the mantle of No. 1 defenseman for the Kings this season from Drew Doughty, and through eight games the 23-year-old has two goals and seven points while adding 16 blocked shots, 18 shots on net, 21 PIM and a minus-5 rating.

Kings' Brandt Clarke: Scores lone goal in loss
Clarke scored a goal on six shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Oilers.
While the Kings have started the year poorly, Clarke's offense has been a bright spot. The goal was his first of the year to go with three assists and 15 shots on net. The 23-year-old defenseman hasn't been credited with a hit yet, but he has racked up 15 PIM and nine blocked shots, showing multiple ways to frustrate opponents. As long as the penalties don't become reckless, Clarke is a lock to handle top-four minutes.

Kings' Brandt Clarke: Slings pair of helpers
Clarke logged two assists, including one on the power play, and added five shots on goal, two blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Sharks.
Clarke has racked up six shots, four blocks, five PIM and a minus-1 rating over two contests. The 23-year-old defenseman is in a position to take over as the leader on the blue line as Drew Doughty's role continues to shrink. Clarke had 40 points, 185 blocks and 63 PIM over 82 regular-season outings last year, and it wouldn't be surprising for his offense to find another level in 2026-27.

Kings' Brandt Clarke: Signs five-year extension
Clarke signed a five-year, $37 million contract extension with the Kings on Friday.
Clarke wrapped up his entry-level deal in 2025-26, posting eight goals, 32 assists, 159 shots on net, 185 blocked shots, 63 PIM and a plus-11 rating over 82 regular-season games. His new deal will carry a $7.4 million cap hit. This cements his place in the Kings' future plans and should help the team ease the transition on the blue line as Clarke starts to take over the top role from Drew Doughty. The 23-year-old Clarke should be a popular fantasy pick this year, especially if he retains a spot on the first power-play unit.

Kings' Brandt Clarke: Adds power-play helper
Clarke logged a power-play assist in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Avalanche in Game 1.
Clarke hasn't scored a goal since March 2, and he was limited to just two assists over his last 14 games of the regular season. The 23-year-old defenseman will be tasked with key top-four minutes this postseason after seeing limited action with two goals over six games while averaging 12:47 of ice time versus the Oilers in the first round last year. Clarke had a career-high 40 points, including 13 on the power play, over 82 regular-season outings in 2025-26.

Kings' Brandt Clarke: Slides three helpers Saturday
Clarke distributed three assists, recorded two blocked shots and served two PIM in Saturday's 6-4 loss to New Jersey.
Clarke was heavily involved in the Kings' offensive efforts Saturday, picking up two primary helpers in the second period before sliding the secondary assist on Anze Kopitar's record-breaking goal in the third. Clarke's trio of apples Saturday elevated him to 29 on the season, which surpassed his previous career best of 28 through 78 regular-season games a year ago. Overall, the 23-year-old blueliner has 37 points, 129 shots on net and 134 blocked shots across 66 games this season. The young defenseman has taken a step up offensively this season while maintaining his defensive impact, as he's tied for 11th in the NHL in blocked shots. The future is bright for Clarke, who profiles as a solid defenseman in nearly all fantasy formats moving forward.

Kings' Brandt Clarke: Supplies two helpers in loss
Clarke logged two assists, three shots on goal, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Canadiens.
Clarke has a goal and four assists over his last three games. His 24:41 of ice time Saturday was also a season high. The blueliner set a new career high in points with 34 through just 62 outings compared to 33 in 78 regular-season contests a year ago. Clarke has grown into a larger role and looks to have the trust of interim head coach D.J. Smith, which is good news for the defenseman's rest-of-season production.

Kings' Brandt Clarke: Scores PP goal Monday
Clarke scored a power-play goal in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche.
Clarke made it a 2-1 game at the 17:20 mark of the first period after burying a wrister past Mackenzie Blackwood, but the Avalanche would turn things around late in the game. It was Clarke's eighth goal of the campaign. The 23-year-old blueliner is on the verge of setting a new career-high mark in points. His previous best output was 33 points in 78 regular-season contests in 2024-25, but he's up to 30 points (eight goals, eight assists) in 60 appearances this term. As a member of the top defensive pairing in both even-strength and power-play situations, it seems it'll only be a matter of time before Clarke surpasses that 33-point threshold.

Clarke is up to a total of seven goals, 29 points, 113 shots on net, 110 blocked shots, 38 PIM and a plus-6 rating over 57 appearances in a top-four role.
