Produces two points Turcotte scored a power-play goal, dished an assist and logged three hits in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Kraken.
Impact With Anze Kopitar resting and Quinton Byfield (upper body) out, Turcotte received a bump up to the top line at even strength. The 24-year-old Turcotte made the most of that move, as he and Adrian Kempe assisted on each other's goals. This was Turcotte's third game back from an upper-body injury. The forward is now at nine goals, 25 points, 77 shots on net, 44 hits, 30 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating through 67 appearances.

Expected to return Saturday Turcotte (upper body) is ready to return for Saturday's game against Colorado, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.
Impact Turcotte was last in the lineup March 23. He has eight goals, 23 points, 38 hits and 27 blocks in 64 outings in 2024-25. Jeff Malott might be a healthy scratch versus the Avalanche as a result of Turcotte's return.

Slated to miss another game Turcotte (upper body) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Ducks, Russell Morgan of Hockey Royalty reports.
Impact Although the 24-year-old will miss a ninth consecutive game Thursday, head coach Jim Hiller said after the team's morning skate that Turcotte is "very close" to returning to action. As a result, it seems possible that he'll be in the mix to return against Colorado on Saturday. Turcotte has made 64 appearances this year, logging eight goals, 15 assists, 38 hits, 27 blocked shots and 20 PIM while averaging 11:46 of ice time.

Progressing in recovery Turcotte (upper body) returned to the ice for practice Sunday, but he remains without a timetable to return to game action, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
Impact While head coach Jim Hiller said that it was "progress" to see Turcotte on the ice for practice Sunday, Hiller said that he "won't expect him anytime soon." The Kings appear to be on track for a playoff berth, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the team exercise caution with Turcotte over the final week and a half of the regular season. However, if he's able to appear in at least some games before the postseason, it could help him regain his conditioning.

Unlikely to return Saturday Turcotte (upper body) is unlikely to play in Saturday's home matchup with the Oilers, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
Impact It'll be the seventh straight game Turcotte's missed as he continues to nurse an upper-body injury. The 24-year-old forward has eight goals and 23 points in a career-high 64 games this season. Turcotte's next chance to suit up will come Monday when the Kings host Seattle.

Won't make trip Thursday Turcotte (upper body) will not travel with the team for Thursday's clash with Utah, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports.
Impact Turcotte has already missed the Kings' last five games due to his upper-body issue and will now be sidelined for at least one more. It's been a decent campaign for the 24-year-old center, having generated eight goals, 15 assists and 75 shots in 64 appearances for the Kings this year. Samuel Helenius figures to remain in the lineup while Turcotte is on the shelf.

Still sidelined Turcotte (upper body) will not be an option for Tuesday's home matchup versus Winnipeg, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.
Impact Turcotte will sit out his fifth consecutive game, and it's not clear if he's close to a return to the lineup. Tanner Jeannot (undisclosed) is also out Tuesday and Alex Lafferiere (illness) is a game-time decision, so the Kings may have to utilize 11 forwards and seven blueliners again.

Still sidelined Turcotte (upper body) will remain sidelined against the Sharks on Sunday, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.
Impact Turcotte will miss his fourth consecutive game, with his next chance to return to the lineup coming Tuesday versus the Jets. The left-shot forward has produced eight goals, 15 assists and a plus-8 rating over 64 appearances in 2024-25.

Out Saturday Turcotte (upper body) won't play in Saturday's clash against Toronto, according to Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.
Impact It will be the Kings' third consecutive game without Turcotte. The 24-year-old has eight goals and 23 points in 64 outings in 2024-25. Turcotte's likely to serve in a bottom-six capacity when he's ready to return.
MARCH 29 • ROTOWIRE
Unavailable Thursday Turcotte (upper body) didn't travel to Colorado, so he won't be an option Thursday versus the Avalanche, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.
Impact Turcotte is set to miss his second straight game. He has eight goals and 23 points in 64 appearances in 2024-25. Turcotte is regarded as day-to-day, so he might still be an option for Saturday's home clash against Toronto.
MARCH 27 • ROTOWIRE
Dealing with upper-body injury Turcotte will be out of the lineup Tuesday versus the Rangers due to an upper-body injury.
Impact Turcotte has two points over his last three games, but it appears he's suffered an injury that will cost him at least one contest. Trevor Moore (upper body) was on the ice for warmups and looks set to return to the lineup on the second line, while Trevor Lewis will stay in on the fourth line to cover Turcotte's absence.
MARCH 26 • ROTOWIRE
First goal since January Turcotte scored a goal in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.
Impact Turcotte doubled the Kings' lead 59 seconds after Trevor Moore's opener with a tip-in. This was his eighth goal of the campaign, but it was also the first time he found the back of the net since tallying two goals in a 5-1 win over the Canucks back on Jan. 16. Turcotte is having a career-best season in 2024-25, as he has racked up 22 points (eight goals, 14 assists) in 62 appearances after being limited to just 32 games in his first three years in the league. That said, he's not much of a fantasy option outside of leagues that reward physicality, and even in those contexts, he'd only be a realistic alternative as a streaming option in deep formats.

Assist on team's only goal Turcotte held a minus-2 rating but picked up an assist on the team's only goal during a 5-1 loss to the Blackhawks on Monday.
Impact After Monday's game, Turcotte has now recorded just two points in his last 17 contests with most of this coming on Los Angeles' top line, playing on the left wing of Anze Kopitar and Adrian Kempe. The 2019 first-round draft choice does have 21 points on the season, so he could effectively be due for some positive regression if he continues to get top-line minutes.

Pockets assist in win Turcotte notched an assist and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Canadiens.
Impact Turcotte had a three-point effort versus the Canucks on Jan. 16, but he followed it up with an eight-game slump. That drought ended when he helped out on Brandt Clarke's third-period tally. Turcotte remains in a top-line role on paper, but his ice time is often in line with that of a fourth-liner. He has 20 points, 56 shots on net and a plus-12 rating over 46 appearances in his first full NHL campaign, but his usage makes him risky for fantasy managers at this point in his career.
