Jordan Spence - NHL News & Rumors

Lends assist Tuesday Spence recorded an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Islanders.

Impact Spence snapped a five-game point drought with the helper. He was scratched versus the Blues on March 5, and his ice time has been cut significantly since he got back into the lineup as the Kings lean on their veteran defensemen to shoulder the heaviest loads. The 24-year-old Spence has had a fine season with 21 points, 65 shots on net, 67 blocked shots, 62 hits and a plus-13 rating over 61 appearances, but he's not a safe fantasy option until his ice time gets back up to a more acceptable level.

Pockets helper in overtime loss Spence notched an assist in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Canucks.

Impact Spence has come out of the 4 Nations Face-Off break on a roll, earning a helper in three straight contests. That bodes well for him sticking in the lineup even if the Kings eventually go back to the traditional six-defensemen structure instead of the seven-defensemen system they've used heavily this season. Spence is up to 20 points, 58 shots on net, 56 hits, 62 blocked shots and a plus-15 rating over 55 appearances this season. He'll see a larger role as long as Drew Doughty (lower body) is out, but Doughty's injury is not believed to be a long-term issue.

Hands out assist Saturday Spence notched an assist and two blocked shots in Saturday's 5-3 win over Utah.

Impact Spence snapped a six-game point drought with the helper. The 23-year-old saw 12:19 of ice time -- it's his second consecutive game in a reduced role, and that may not change if the Kings continue to dress seven defensemen, as Brandt Clarke will push for more than the 5:15 he saw in Saturday's contest. Spence has had flashes of success in his second full NHL campaign, racking up 18 points, 57 shots on net, 61 blocked shots, 54 hits and a plus-15 rating over 53 appearances despite mainly featuring in a bottom-four role.

Overall, Spence has 16 points, 48 shots on net, 51 blocked shots, 43 hits and a plus-11 rating through 44 outings. Clarke has added a bit more offense from the back end, but Spence has arguably played better overall.

The 23-year-old blueliner is up to two goals, eight helpers, 34 shots on net, 39 blocked shots, 29 hits, 14 PIM and a plus-7 rating over 31 contests. He does a little of everything and should be rostered in deep fantasy formats.

Helps out on power play Spence logged a power-play assist and two PIM in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Wild.

Impact Spence has two assists over his last three games, but that follows a stretch of no points across 16 contests. The 23-year-old has started to see more regular power-play time again on the second unit over the last couple of weeks. He's now at six points (two on the power play), 29 shots on net, 31 blocked shots, 29 hits, 10 PIM and a plus-4 rating through 26 outings overall. Spence will likely continue to see bottom-four usage overall, and with the Kings leaning on seven-defensemen lineups lately, he could be in line for an even smaller role than usual.

Snaps slump with helper Spence logged an assist in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Senators.

Impact Spence put an end to his 16-game point drought with a helper on Alex Laferriere's goal in the first period. The 23-year-old Spence is now at five points, 28 shots on net, 25 hits, 30 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 24 contests. Considering he stayed in the lineup for the entirety of his slump, it looks like Spence is a regular on the Kings' blue line now. That said, he'll need to score consistently to offer more than bottom-tier fantasy value.

Sticking in lineup amid slump Spence was held off the scoresheet for the 15th game in a row in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Jets.

Impact Spence has 22 shots on net, 18 blocked shots and 16 hits over that span. There's good news to be had -- he's stayed in the lineup regularly and has maintained a power-play role on the second unit, but he was battling with Brandt Clarke for time on the first unit in October. For now, the Kings are rolling with a five-forward configuration on the first unit. Spence had four points over his first seven outings of the season, so there's room for optimism that he can turn things around.

He's added three helpers, six shots on net, 12 blocks, nine hits, six PIM and a plus-1 rating over seven appearances. The 23-year-old was listed on the top pairing Thursday and could be a depth option in fantasy if he can stay in that role.

Los Angeles head coach Jim Hiller cited Spence's shaky start to the season that resulted in Wednesday's breather, per Zak Dooley of LA Kings Insider. After logging just 13:31 TOI in the game prior to him being scratched, Spence was on ice for 23:03 on Thursday.

Earns power-play assist Spence notched a power-play assist, two hits, three blocked shots and two PIM in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Sabres.

Impact The big question on the Kings' blue line was who would step up in the absence of Drew Doughty (ankle), and the answer through one game is Spence. The 23-year-old logged 22:07 of ice time and also skated with the first power-play unit. That latter role could eventually go to Brandt Clarke, but this is Spence's chance to solidify himself in the Kings' lineup after producing 24 points over 71 regular-season outings a year ago. Spence is worth a speculative add in most fantasy formats.
