Activated Saturday Turcotte (upper body) is off injured reserve Saturday.

Impact Turcotte, who has missed LA's past five games, wasn't expected to play Saturday versus Detroit, but it seems he's good to face the Red Wings after all. He has a goal and five points in 13 appearances in 2024-25. Andre Lee was reassigned to AHL Ontario in a corresponding move.

Impact Hiller specified that there's a "chance" Turcotte returns against Detroit but said that he leaned toward the 23-year-old missing another game. Turcotte has missed the last five games due to his upper-body injury, and if he's ultimately ruled out against Detroit, his next chance to return would be Wednesday against the Sabres.

Out Thursday Turcotte (upper body) will miss Thursday's game against Vancouver, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

Impact Turcotte's injury was previously listed as undisclosed but is now classified as upper body. It's also been specified that Turcotte doesn't have a head injury. This will be his second straight game on the shelf, but Turcotte is day-to-day, so perhaps he'll be an option Saturday versus Columbus. The 23-year-old has a goal and five points in 13 appearances in 2024-25 while averaging 11:52 of ice time.

NOVEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Tuesday Turcotte (undisclosed) won't be in the lineup Tuesday versus Minnesota, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.

Impact Turcotte left Monday's 3-0 win over Nashville in the second period and did not return after taking a hit from Jeremy Lauzon. The 23-year-old Turcotte has one goal and four assists in 13 outings this season. He will be replaced in Tuesday's lineup by Andre Lee.

Offers assist in shootout loss Turcotte notched an assist in Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Blackhawks.

Impact Turcotte has been on the top line at even strength in recent games, but his helper Saturday was his first since Oct. 20. The 23-year-old's slump has cost him a power-play role. He's at five points, 14 shots on net and a plus-7 rating through 12 contests. Turcotte is good enough to stay in the lineup, but his role is likely to be limited regardless of which line he's listed on.

Nabs assist Sunday Turcotte logged an assist and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Ducks.

Impact Turcotte extended his point streak to four games (one goal, three assists) when he set up a Mikey Anderson empty-netter in the final minute. The surge of offense has helped Turcotte claim a third-line role after he opened the season with limited minutes on the fourth line. He's added five shots on net, a plus-4 rating and one hit across six contests, while his four points match his output from 20 regular-season appearances in 2023-24.

OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Points in three straight Turcotte had an assist and one shot on goal in Thursday's 4-1 win over Montreal.

Impact Turcotte did the dirty work behind the night to keep the puck in the zone, which led to linemate Alex Laferriere's goal early in the second period. It was the third straight game with a point for Turcotte, who has a goal and two assists through the first five games.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Scores first goal of season Turcotte scored a goal on three shots in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.

Impact Turcotte scored the Kings' first goal just 2:42 into the third period, but his goal wasn't enough to spark a late comeback. Turcotte has points in back-to-back games and will aim to continue that streak against the Canadiens on Thursday, though his chances of contributing offensively on a regular basis might not be too high given his role as a bottom-six forward.

Impact The Kings will be able to use Turcotte's time in the minors to determine if he's fit to play.

Sustains upper-body injury Turcotte suffered an upper-body injury in Tuesday's 6-2 win against Chicago, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports.

Impact Turcotte managed just 7:14 of ice time before leaving the game in the third period due to his upper-body issue. The 23-year-old center is currently mired in an 18-game goal drought during which he registered just two assists and a meager 12 shots. If Turcotte were to miss any time, Arthur Kaliyev could finally make his way back into the lineup.

MARCH 20 • ROTOWIRE

Up in NHL Turcotte was recalled from AHL Ontario on Friday.

Sent to AHL affiliate Turcotte was assigned to AHL Ontario on Friday, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports.

Garners helper in win Turcotte registered an assist in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Blue Jackets.

Impact Turcotte snapped a five-game point drought with the helper. The 22-year-old has been playing as the fourth-line center, a role that's often kept him under 10 minutes of ice time per game. He's picked up three points, six shots on net and a plus-4 rating through eight outings this season, but he's likely best left on the waiver wire in fantasy until he can work his way into the middle six.

FEBRUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Turcotte scored his first career NHL goal Jan. 31, and chipped in with an assist in a 4-2 win over Nashville. Turcotte was drafted fifth overall in 2019 and has had a tough time cracking the LA lineup, as he has played only 14 games in the NHL. Turcotte had seven goals and 24 points in 30 AHL games before his recall. He is expected to see fourth line minutes with Blake Lizotte out of action with a lower-body injury.
