Kyle Burroughs - Losing playing timeBurroughs was scratched for Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Blackhawks, the seventh time in the last eight games he's sat out.

ImpactBurroughs played regularly early in the season, earning one assist over the first four games. He's one of three healthy right-shot defensemen on the roster, but the Kings have opted to dress four left-handed blueliners lately, with Andreas Englund maintaining a third-pairing role over Burroughs and Caleb Jones. The 29-year-old Burroughs has added two shots on net, 10 hits, 11 PIM, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in five appearances. Even when he plays, he has little to offer outside of toughness.

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

ImpactTurcotte 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.

Nolan Allan - Produces assist in shootout winAllan notched an assist in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Kings.

ImpactAllan has earned three assists over his last five games. The 21-year-old is likely performing above his expected level on offense given he's seeing an average of 12:59 of ice time per game this season on the third pairing. The blueliner has added four shots on net, four hits, five blocked shots and a minus-1 rating through nine appearances.

Alex Vlasic - Adds assist SaturdayVlasic recorded an assist, two hits and four blocked shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Kings.

ImpactVlasic saw a season-high 27:07 of ice time in the contest. He's picked up four assists over his last six games, and he now has a total of six helpers through 12 outings this season. The 23-year-old has added 10 shots on net, 31 blocked shots, nine hits and an even plus-minus rating while seeing steady top-four usage and power-play time. If Vlasic continues at this scoring pace, he's worth a look in most fantasy formats.

Seth Jones - Snaps dry spell with helperJones recorded an assist, two hits and three blocked shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Kings.

ImpactJones started the year strong, but some of the shine has started to come off after a four-game slump. He snapped that dry spell by helping out on Tyler Bertuzzi's game-tying goal in the final minute of regulation. Jones is up to eight points, 30 shots on net, 21 blocked shots, nine hits, six PIM and a minus-2 rating over 12 appearances this season. While his offense may falter at times, Jones is a lock to see huge minutes, giving him plenty of chances to rack up non-scoring production.

Craig Smith - Pots goal in shootout winSmith scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Kings.

ImpactSmith is doing well in a fourth-line role lately. He's earned four goals and two assists over his last seven games, accounting for all of his offense through 10 appearances. The winger has added 18 shots on net, eight hits, nine blocked shots, four PIM and a minus-2 rating. Smith's play has helped him earn a spot on the second power-play unit, though he has yet to pick up a point with the man advantage. He has not regularly seen power-play time since the 2021-22 campaign.

Bertuzzi is up to four goals, 25 shots on net, nine hits and a minus-4 rating through 12 outings this season, playing mainly in a middle-six role with power-play time.
