Kings' Taylor Ward: Earns first point of season
Ward logged an assist and two blocked shots in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Jets.
Ward has played in two games since he received a call-up from AHL Ontario to help replenish the Kings' forward depth. The 27-year-old winger saw 15:30 of ice time Friday, though that number may be a bit inflated since the Kings are playing with 11 forwards and seven defensemen. Fantasy managers don't need to track Ward's production closely at this point, as this is likely to be a short-term stay with the big club.

Kings' Quinton Byfield: Scores in loss
Byfield scored a goal on three shots in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Jets.
Byfield prevented an Eric Comrie shutout midway through the second period, but the Kings weren't able to build on his goal. With three goals and three helpers over the last seven contests, Byfield has dug his way out of a December slump. He's now at seven goals, 25 points, 93 shots on net, 30 hits, 24 blocked shots and 20 PIM through 42 appearances in a top-six role this season.

Kings' Anton Forsberg: Works third period Friday
Forsberg stopped all three shots he faced in relief of Darcy Kuemper in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Jets.
Forsberg played the third period for his first action over five games in January. Darcy Kuemper has struggled since returning from an upper-body injury, but Forsberg's play wasn't all that special during Kuemper's absence. On the season, Forsberg is 6-6-3 with a 2.64 GAA and a .901 save percentage in 16 appearances. Both of the Kings' goalies are clear fades heading into Saturday's road matchup versus the Oilers.

Kings' Darcy Kuemper: Pulled after two periods
Kuemper gave up five goals on 16 shots in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Jets.
Kuemper exited the game after two periods, allowing Anton Forsberg to get some work. The 35-year-old Kuemper still looks a bit off after an upper-body injury -- in five starts since his return, he's allowed a total of 19 goals on 130 shots, going 2-2-1 in that span. Overall, Kuemper is now at a 12-8-7 record with a 2.50 GAA and a .905 save percentage. He's best avoided in fantasy until he can right the ship. The Kings play in Edmonton on Saturday, but it's not yet clear which goalie will get the nod for that contest.

Kings' Jan Chovan: Goal, assist in OHL loss
Chovan scored a goal and added an assist in OHL Sudbury's 4-2 loss to Niagara on Friday.
Chovan will likely get an expanded role over the remainder of the season, as the Wolves have sold off some players in the midst of a lost year. Chovan is now at eight goals and 22 points over 32 appearances this season. The Kings prospect, a 2025 sixth-round pick, will likely take a long time to reach the NHL.

Kings' Jared Woolley: Two points with new OHL team
Woolley scored a goal and added an assist in OHL Kitchener's 4-2 win over Oshawa on Friday.
Woolley was dealt to Kitchener from London on Wednesday. He's already off to a good start with his new team, earning his first multi-point effort since Dec. 17. The Kings prospect is now at 11 goals and 16 assists through 38 games this season.

Kings' Darcy Kuemper: First goalie off Friday
Kuemper was the first goalie off during Friday's morning skate, Jared Shafran of the Kings' official site reports, indicating that he'll draw the road start against Winnipeg.
Kuemper has gone 2-1-1 with a 3.40 GAA and .877 save percentage over his last four outings, and he'll draw a fifth consecutive start Friday. He made two starts against Winnipeg earlier this season -- one at home and one on the road -- and he went 1-1-0 with a 1.53 GAA and .940 save percentage during those appearances.

Kings' Anze Kopitar: Won't play Friday
Kopitar (lower body) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Jets, NHL.com reports.
Kopitar will be unavailable for a second consecutive matchup due to a lower-body injury. He's considered day-to-day, but it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to suit up in the second half of the back-to-back set Saturday against Edmonton.

Kings' Joel Armia: Still sidelined Friday
Armia (upper body) is expected to remain out of the lineup for Friday's clash with Winnipeg, per NHL.com.
Armia will be unavailable for his second straight game due to his lingering upper-body injury. While the team hasn't provided a concrete update on the 32-year-old winger, the fact that it is heading into a back-to-back means Armia is unlikely to feature versus the Oilers on Saturday either.

Kings' Trevor Moore: Placed on injured reserve
Moore (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Thursday.
Moore has been sidelined since Dec. 29 due to an illness and upper-body injury, and it's not yet clear when he'll be able to return. However, the Kings indicated Wednesday that Moore is considered day-to-day, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him back in action in the near future. Cole Guttman was recalled from AHL Ontario to provide additional depth in Moore's absence.

Kings' Cole Guttman: Called up Thursday
Guttman was recalled from AHL Ontario on Thursday.
Guttman hasn't played in an NHL game since the 2023-24 campaign, when he saw action in 27 outings with the Blackhawks. In those appearances, the California native notched four goals and four assists, including three power-play points. With his promotion to the NHL roster, Guttman could be in the lineup versus Winnipeg on Friday, as he gives the team a full complement of 12 healthy forwards.

Kings' Joel Edmundson: Sends pair of assists
Edmundson logged two assists, two shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Sharks.
Edmundson had a hand in third-period goals by Kevin Fiala and Alex Laferriere. The 32-year-old Edmundson has three helpers over his last five outings. For the season, the veteran defenseman is at 16 points, 59 shots on net, 51 hits, 42 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating over 42 appearances. He's on pace for a career year and could have some appeal in deep fantasy formats thanks to his steady physical play.

Kings' Alex Laferriere: Puts away goal
Laferriere scored a goal on three shots and added two hits in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Sharks.
Laferriere looked to give the Kings a win with his tally at 17:50 of the third period, but Macklin Celebrini was able to tie the game before setting up William Eklund's goal in overtime. Even though the result didn't go the Kings' way, Laferriere shined in a season-high 20:40 of ice time. He has four goals and two assists over his last six outings and is up to 11 goals, 21 points, 100 shots on net, 115 hits and a plus-6 rating over 42 appearances. If he can keep up his recent success once the Kings are at full strength again, the 24-year-old is poised for a big second half.

Kings' Alex Turcotte: Picks up two points
Turcotte scored a goal on four shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Sharks.
Turcotte is finding a groove in a third-line role, earning four points over his last three games. The 24-year-old also saw a season-high 17:22 of ice time Wednesday since the Kings were missing four of their regular forwards. Turcotte is now at three goals, seven helpers, 41 shots on net, 21 blocked shots, 17 hits and a minus-4 rating over 41 appearances this season.

Kings' Kevin Fiala: Two-point effort in overtime loss
Fiala scored a goal on four shots, added an assist, went plus-2 and doled out three hits in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Sharks.
Fiala's point streak is up to five games (three goals, four assists) after his latest strong performance. The winger led the Kings with 22:26 of ice time in this contest, which saw the team dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen due to the absences of Anze Kopitar (lower body), Joel Armia (upper body), Trevor Moore (upper body) and Corey Perry (personal). Fiala is up to 16 goals, 31 points, 121 shots on net, 23 hits, 24 PIM and a minus-6 rating over 42 appearances this season. He'll likely continue to see a boost in ice time as long as the Kings' forward group is short-staffed.

Kings' Darcy Kuemper: Can't hold off Sharks
Kuemper allowed four goals on 28 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Sharks.
Kuemper had a 3-2 lead to protect over the last 2:10 of regulation but couldn't get the job done. Macklin Celebrini tied the game with 1:07 left in the third period, and he set up William Eklund's overtime tally to send Kuemper to his second loss in four outings since returning from an upper-body injury. The 35-year-old netminder has allowed four goals in three of those games. He's at a 12-7-7 record with a 2.38 GAA and a .910 save percentage over 27 starts. The Kings are set for a two-game road trip next, visiting the Jets on Friday and the Oilers on Saturday. Kuemper's recent play makes him a risky fantasy option, but he's playable against the slumping Jets if he starts the first half of the back-to-back.
