Kings' Alex Turcotte: Finds twine in overtime loss
Turcotte scored a goal in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Penguins.
Turcotte has earned four points over his last four games. He's seen a boost in ice time over the last two contests while Trevor Moore (upper body) has been out -- it's been Turcotte filling in on the top line alongside Anze Kopitar and Adrian Kempe. For the season, Turcotte has 12 points, 28 shots on net and a plus-11 rating through 26 appearances, showing a little of the promise that made him the fifth overall pick in 2019.

Kings' Vladislav Gavrikov: First points in six games
Gavrikov picked up two assists in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Penguins on Tuesday.
Gavrikov snapped a five-game point drought with the helpers, giving him 13 points, including 11 assists, in 31 games this season. He won't push for a new career mark, but Gavrikov could flirt with 30 points this season. He's also on track for a career high in blocks -- he will approach 170 if he maintains this pace and stays healthy in the process.

Kings' Darcy Kuemper: Plays big but falls in OT
Kuemper made 28 saves in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Penguins.
Kuemper had allowed one goal in each of his first three starts back from missing seven games with a lower-body injury before Tuesday's contest. He stood on his head in the third period to force overtime. The Kings have been a revelation in the Pacific division, and they're just three points back from the Golden Knights. Kuemper is a key driver of the Kings' success.

Kings' Adrian Kempe: Eleventh goal in last 14 games
Kempe scored a goal Tuesday in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Penguins.
It was Kempe's 16th goal this season and 11th in 14 games since Nov. 13. It came off a wrist shot just outside the crease off a pass from Anze Kopitar from behind the net. Kempe has points in four of his last five outings (four goals, three assists) and 11 goals and eight assists across his past 16 games. Just three of those points came with the man advantage, but it's hard to quibble with his current excellence. Power-play points will come for Kempe.

Kings' Darcy Kuemper: Starting in Pittsburgh
Kuemper will guard the road goal versus the Kings on Tuesday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Kings' Trevor Moore: Still sidelined Tuesday
Moore (upper body) is not expected back in the lineup versus the Penguins on Tuesday,

Kings' Tanner Jeannot: Picks up helper
Jeannot notched an assist, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Rangers.
Jeannot helped out on a Warren Foegele tally in the first period. The 27-year-old Jeannot has seen steady middle-six minutes with the Kings opting to dress 11 forwards in recent weeks. He remains in a middle-six role and has six points, 26 shots on net, 49 PIM, 82 hits and an even plus-minus rating through 27 outings. With the Kings focusing on defensive structure first, Jeannot may not get many chances to pile up points.

Kings' Akil Thomas: First point since return
Thomas logged an assist and two hits in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Rangers.
Thomas spent three games as a healthy scratch after being activated from injured reserve Dec. 7. He returned to game action for the first time since Nov. 25 because Trevor Moore (upper body) was unavailable. The 24-year-old Thomas has three points, 14 shots on net, 20 hits and a plus-1 rating over 11 appearances this season, primarily in a bottom-six role.

Kings' Brandt Clarke: Ends five-game slump
Clarke notched an assist, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Rangers.
Clarke had been held off the scoresheet over his previous five games, his second slump of that length in the last month. He's slowed down from his early scoring pace, and his ice time has dropped due to the Kings regularly deploying seven defensemen lately. The 21-year-old is at three goals, 14 assists, 65 shots on net, 58 blocked shots, 22 PIM and a plus-6 rating over 30 appearances. He still has some upside because of his power-play role, but Clarke has been a gamble offensively.

Kings' Phillip Danault: Scores in Saturday's win
Danault scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Rangers.
Danault's tally in the second period was the third in a span of 2:18 for the Kings, which chased Igor Shesterkin from the contest. With two goals and three helpers over his last eight games, Danault is finding a little more offense lately. He's at three tallies, 15 points, 50 shots on net, 29 hits, 28 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating over 30 appearances in a middle-six role this year.
