Impact Petersen has a 2-2-2 record with a 2.48 GAA and a .923 save percentage through six games in March. The 26-year-old has split time evenly with Jonathan Quick in recent games. Petersen has allowed just one goal in each of his last two outings.

Will miss at least 10 more days Maatta (upper body) will be sidelined for at least 10 more days, Lisa Dillman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Maatta's absence will continue to test the Kings' depth at defense, but it won't impact any fantasy lineups, as he's only tallied one assist in 24 games this campaign.

Down to taxi squad Bjornfot was assigned to the taxi squad Tuesday, per CapFriendly.

Impact This is likely a paper move, as Bjornfot has averaged 16:47 of ice time per game this season. He has three assists in 16 contests.

Reaches 21 straight without goal Lizotte was shut out for the sixth straight game in a 2-1 loss Monday to San Jose and hasn't found the net since Jan. 21.

Impact If Lizotte was picking up helpers, this wouldn't be an issue, but he's scored just two points over the past 21 games, making it clear he's not going to be any help to fantasy managers this season. Barring an unexpected surge, he's not worth rostering in anything but the deepest of dynasty leagues.

Picks up five in PIMs MacDermid's lone contribution to the stat sheet was a first period fight in a 2-1 loss to San Jose on Monday.

Impact With only 10:29 of ice time in the loss, MacDermid just doesn't get enough time to really make himself a contributor in fantasy formats. He picked up no hits or blocked shots in this game, so unless your league counts PIMs, this game didn't help anything. In most cases, that'll be the norm for MacDermid, giving him very limited value.

Pointless streak reaches six games Kempe was blanked for the sixth straight contest in a 2-1 loss to San Jose on Monday.

Impact Before the scoreless skid, Kempe had lit the lamp six times in three games. When the points come, they tend to come in bunches for the 24-year-old, but he'll only play once more this week, so owners might be waiting on him for a little while longer.

Ends slump with helper Wagner picked up an assist, two shots on goal and a pair of hits in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Sharks.

Impact Wagner's helper on Matt Roy's goal in the second period was the former's first point in seven appearances in March. Wagner has been limited to bottom-six duties when he's in the lineup. The 23-year-old has seven points, 39 shots, 58 hits and 11 PIM through 23 games.

Snaps five-game point drought Vilardi posted an assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Sharks.

Impact Head coach Todd McLellan has recently relegated Vilardi to fourth-line duties as the young forward works through a slump. He skated with Blake Lizotte and Austin Wagner on Monday. Vilardi had the secondary assist on Matt Roy's second-period tally. Recent struggles aside, the 21-year-old Vilardi has done reasonably well in his first full season with 13 points, 35 shots and a minus-4 rating through 31 contests.

Lights lamp in loss Roy scored a goal on two shots in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Sharks.

Impact Roy deposited his first goal of the year at 17:31 of the second period to tie the game at 1-1. The 26-year-old blueliner has eight points, 41 shots on net, 35 blocked shots and 33 hits through 26 contests this season. Roy should continue to hold down a steady role among the Kings' defense corps, but his lack of scoring this year won't entice many fantasy managers.

MARCH 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Takes loss in close game Quick surrendered two goals on 23 shots in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Sharks.

Impact Quick was outplayed by Sharks goalie Martin Jones, who allowed only one goal on 42 shots Monday. The 35-year-old Quick has lost both of his starts since he returned from an upper-body injury. The veteran netminder is at 6-6-2 with a 2.91 GAA and an .898 save percentage in 14 games. Cal Petersen has won his last two starts, so it seems likely Quick will be watching Wednesday's rematch with the Sharks from the bench.
