Joel Edmundson - Earns assist Tuesday Edmundson notched an assist, three shots on goal, four hits, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-1 loss to the Golden Knights.
Impact Edmundson picked up his first point in two games after he missed two contests to attend to a family matter. The 31-year-old defenseman has two helpers, nine shots on net, nine hits, 10 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over five appearances this season, but his defensive performance wasn't great Tuesday. He's unlikely to score enough to help in fantasy.

Jordan Spence - Notches helper in loss Spence produced an assist in Tuesday's 6-1 loss to the Golden Knights.
Impact Spence has been steady early in the season, recording three assists over six appearances. He helped out on a Warren Foegele tally in the second period of this contest. Spence has added four shots on net, seven hits, nine blocked shots and a minus-1 rating. He continues to see power-play time, which makes a depth option for fantasy managers in need of a little offense from the blue line.

Warren Foegele - Nets lone goal in loss Foegele scored a goal on five shots in Tuesday's 6-1 loss to the Golden Knights.
Impact Foegele's time with the Kings has gotten off to an atrocious start, but he's finally got his first goal with the team. The winger has added 19 shots on net, five hits, four blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating over seven contests. He's been limited to a middle-six role with minimal power-play time, so there's little upside to be had in his current situation.

David Rittich - Leaks six goals Tuesday Rittich stopped 24 of 30 shots in Tuesday's 6-1 loss to the Golden Knights.
Impact Rittich had allowed just one goal in each of his previous two starts, but the Golden Knights put up a much better effort than the Ducks or the Canadiens. The 32-year-old netminder continues to fill as the Kings' top goalie while Darcy Kuemper (lower body) is sidelined. The Kings' seven-game road trip is now in the books, and they'll have their home opener Thursday versus the Sharks, making Rittich an attractive streaming option should he start that game.

David Rittich - Slated to start Tuesday Rittich is expected to defend the road net Tuesday against Vegas, according to Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.
Impact Rittich has won his last two outings while surrendering two goals on 41 shots. Vegas has lit the lamp 23 times through six games this season.

Alex Turcotte - 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
Vladislav Gavrikov - Adds assist in win Gavrikov registered an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Ducks.
Impact Gavrikov helped out on an empty-netter by Kevin Fiala. After a slow start to the campaign, Gavrikov has three assists over his last two games. The 28-year-old defenseman isn't known for scoring a lot, so it's unlikely he'll provide steady offense throughout the year. He's much better in the non-scoring categories, as he has 11 shots on net, 16 blocks and a plus-4 rating across six contests this season.
OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE
Phillip Danault - Snags assist Danault posted an assist in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Ducks.
Impact Danault's off to a quiet start on offense this year with just two assists over six games. The 31-year-old center has added 10 shots on net, 10 hits, three blocked shots and a plus-1 rating while filling a middle-six role. His ice time has been under 17 minutes in two of the last three games, though that is likely a short-term trend in order to get his overall play back up to standard.

Anze Kopitar - Provides helper in win Kopitar notched an assist in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Ducks.
Impact Kopitar set up Adrian Kempe for the opening tally 3:06 into the third period. It's been all playmaking for Kopitar since his Opening Night hat trick -- he has five assists over his last five games. The star center has eight points, eight shots on net, five blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through six contests this season while once again holding down a top-line role.

Alex Laferriere - Nets game-winner Sunday Laferriere scored a goal on three shots, doled out three hits and went plus-2 in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Ducks.
Impact Laferriere has shown some scoring chops with four goals over his last four games. The 22-year-old winger has split his time between the first line and third line this season, mostly depending on whether Quinton Byfield is playing center or wing. Laferriere has five points, 16 shots, 12 hits and a plus-5 rating, putting him on pace to easily top the 23-point rookie year he enjoyed over 81 regular-season contests in 2023-24.
OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin Fiala - Tallies in Sunday's win Fiala scored an empty-net goal on five shots, added two PIM and logged two hits in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Ducks.
Impact Fiala has potted four goals over his last four games. The 28-year-old winger is up to five points, 24 shots, five hits, six PIM and a minus-2 rating over six appearances this season. Fiala has topped 20 goals in each of the last five campaigns, and he's still shooting a nearly-reasonable 16.7 percent so far, so he could make a realistic effort to best his career high of 33 tallies from 2021-22.
OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE
Adrian Kempe - Opens scoring in third period Kempe scored a goal in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Ducks.
Impact Kempe has tallied in three of the last four games and looks to be in midseason form already. The 28-year-old forward has three goals, three assists, 15 shots on net, eight hits and a plus-4 rating through six appearances this season. Kempe and Anze Kopitar are still together on the top line and figure to be one of the Kings' most productive forward duos throughout 2024-25. Last season, Kempe flirted with a point-per-game pace with 75 points over 77 regular-season outings, so his current surge of offense isn't out of the ordinary.
OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE
Mikey Anderson - Two points in Sunday's win Anderson scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Ducks.
Impact Anderson has scored in back-to-back games, though his tally Sunday was a lucky bank shot off the side wall into the empty net. The 25-year-old defenseman has collected four points, eight shots on net, 10 hits, seven blocked shots, six PIM and a plus-1 rating over six contests. He remains on the top pairing in the absence of Drew Doughty (ankle), though Anderson's shutdown style means his current surge of offense is likely to fizzle out.
OCTOBER 21 • ROTOWIRE
David Rittich - Lightly tested in win Rittich stopped 14 of 15 shots in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Ducks.
Impact Rittich started for the third straight game, and he's won his last two outings. The 32-year-old had a shutout going until Ryan Strome scored at 18:16 of the third period. Rittich continues to fill in as the Kings' top goalie while Darcy Kuemper (lower body) is sidelined. With his recent success, Rittich figures to get the nod at Vegas on Tuesday.
