Impact Spence's slapshot was redirected by Alex Laferriere early in the second period to give the Kings a 2-1 lead. The defenseman was back in the lineup after being a healthy scratch Wednesday. 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.

Back in NHL Spence was recalled from AHL Ontario on Saturday, per the NHL media site.

Impact Spence was sent down to the minors Wednesday and played that night versus Abbotsford -- putting two shots on net and picking up a minor, in a 2-1 shootout loss.

He is expected to be the seventh defenseman for the Kings on Saturday versus Anaheim.

Sent to minors Spence was reassigned to AHL Ontario on Wednesday, per Russell Morgan of Hockey Royalty.

Impact Spence has 16 assists, 54 shots, 44 hits and 35 blocks in 44 contests this season. Although he's been a regular with the Kings for much of the season, Spence was a healthy scratch in LA's past four games, which might be what led to this move. It's also possible this is a paper transaction, and if that's the case, then the Kings would likely recall him before Thursday's game against Nashville.

FEBRUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Sends power-play assist Spence posted a power-play assist in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Oilers.

Impact Spence set up Pierre-Luc Dubois' opening tally at 2:38 of the second period. He wasn't an everyday player in January, but Spence managed three helpers over 10 contests last month while logging third-pairing minutes. He'll have to compete with Brandt Clarke for playing time in the near term, and if the Kings trade for a defenseman, both young blueliners could be out of the lineup. Spence has 16 helpers (three on the power play), 51 shots on net, 37 hits, 34 blocked shots and a plus-7 rating over 43 appearances.
