Matt Roy - Back in action Roy (personal) is expected to play Wednesday versus the Sabres, Austin Stanovich of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Roy missed Monday's game to attend the birth of his child, but he'll be back after the short absence. The 28-year-old should slot into his usual second-pairing role, while Jordan Spence is expected to be scratched.

Cam Talbot - Looking to get on track Talbot will protect the home goal versus the Sabres on Wednesday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Impact Talbot has spent three games on the bench following an 0-5-3 stretch in which he allowed 27 goals across eight games. The 36-year-old will get a Sabres team coming off a 4-2 loss to the Ducks on Tuesday -- that combination of a back-to-back and poor form should make this a good chance for Talbot to get himself on track.

Trevor Moore - Scores goal in loss to Sharks Moore supplied a goal in a 4-3 shootout loss to San Jose on Monday.

Impact Moore scored late in the second period to cut the Sharks' lead to 2-1. That gives him 21 markers and 33 points in 44 contests this year. Moore has already surpassed his previous career high in goals of 17, which was set in 2021-22, and he's well on his way to surpassing his personal best of 43 points. It helps that he entered Monday's action averaging 17:50 of ice time, which is up from 16:59 last season

Quinton Byfield - Gets two points Monday Byfield recorded a goal and an assist in a 4-3 shootout loss to San Jose on Monday.

Impact Byfield has 14 goals and 33 points in 44 outings this season, including three points (two markers) over his last two appearances. The 21-year-old is making great strides compared to his 2022-23 campaign in which he collected five goals and 22 points in 53 games. Taken with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2020 NHL Draft, we're likely just getting the first real taste of what promises to be a great career. Look for Byfield to flirt with the 60-point milestone before the season's over.

David Rittich - Falls in shootout to Sharks Rittich turned aside 24 of 27 shots in a 4-3 shootout loss to San Jose on Monday.

The 31-year-old netminder had been doing well leading up to this game, saving 86 of 91 shots (.945 save percentage) over his previous four contests. Even after this setback, Rittich's 4-1-2 record, 1.76 GAA and .931 save percentage across eight contests overall makes him a strong option for LA, especially with Cam Talbot struggling with a 4.20 GAA and an .874 save percentage over his last five appearances.

Impact Byfield put the Kings ahead 2-1 late in the second period, cleaning up a loose puck in front of the net for the eventual game-winning tally.
