Mikey Anderson - Pockets assist Wednesday Anderson notched an assist and blocked four shots in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Wild.

Impact This was Anderson's first point in 13 outings since the All-Star break, though he missed eight games in that span due to an upper-body injury. The defenseman is up to 16 points, 75 shots on net, 101 hits, 112 blocked shots an a plus-16 rating through 61 appearances this season. His career high of 20 points from last season is still within reach, but he'll need to heat up over the final month of the campaign to match it.

Quinton Byfield - Deals helper in lopsided win Byfield notched an assist and 10 PIM in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Wild.

Impact Byfield set up Matt Roy's goal in the second period. In the third, Byfield was involved in a line brawl that saw 10 players in total receive 10-minute misconduct penalties. It's fair to argue the 21-year-old has hit a bit of a wall in March with four points over 10 outings this month, but it hasn't cost him a top-line role. Byfield has 19 goals, 31 assists, 133 shots on net, 52 hits, 38 PIM and a plus-18 rating over 67 contests.

Impact Doughty had gone three games without a point entering Wednesday. Prior to that short slump, he opened March with a helper in five of six contests. The 34-year-old blueliner continues to provide solid all-around production with 44 points, 118 shots on net, 125 blocked shots, 89 hits, 40 PIM and a plus-15 rating over 69 appearances in a top-pairing role.

Trevor Moore - Dishes two assists Moore posted two assists, four shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Wild.

Impact Moore is starting to get his offense back on track with three helpers over his last two games. The winger set up Phillip Danault on the opening goal and Jordan Spence on a power-play marker in the second period. Moore has matched his career high with 48 points while adding 217 shots on net, 73 hits, 49 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating through 69 contests in a middle-six role this season.

MARCH 21 • ROTOWIRE

Adrian Kempe - Provides two helpers in win Kempe recorded two assists, two shots on goal, two hits, 12 PIM and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Wild.

Impact Kempe helped out on Kevin Fiala's power-play tally in the first period and Matt Roy's marker in the second. While he's gone four games without a goal, Kempe has made up for it with seven assists in that span. The 27-year-old forward is up to 60 points, 208 shots on net, 98 hits, 66 PIM and a plus-12 rating over 64 contests this season, playing primarily on the top line. With Viktor Arvidsson (lower body) back in action, Kempe will need to keep his offense strong to avoid a negative change in role should interim head coach Jim Hiller shuffle the lines.

MARCH 21 • ROTOWIRE

Jordan Spence - Buries power-play goal Spence scored a power-play goal on two shots and added two hits in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Wild.

Impact Spence's tally stretched the Kings' lead to 5-0 in the second period. The 23-year-old defenseman has earned four points over his last six contests, though he's seen limited ice time as the Kings have favored deploying seven blueliners. Spence is at least getting power-play time -- he's earned five of his 20 points this season with the man advantage while adding 67 shots on net, 54 hits, 47 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 58 outings.

MARCH 21 • ROTOWIRE

Matt Roy - Nets goal in win Roy scored a goal, blocked three shots, went plus-3 and added 10 PIM in Wednesday's 6-0 win over the Wild.

Impact Roy's goal early in the second period was a back-breaker for a Wild team that couldn't get any bounces to go its way. The goal was Roy's first since Feb. 17, though he has earned five points over 10 contests in March. The 29-year-old blueliner can be a solid depth option in fantasy when he makes semi-regular contributions on offense. For the season, he has four goals, 22 points, 118 shots on net, 139 hits, 167 blocked shots, 40 PIM and a plus-19 rating through 68 appearances.
