LOS ANGELES KINGS NEWS

Tanner Jeannot - Secures assist in win Jeannot notched an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Wild.

Impact The helper was just the second point of the season for Jeannot, who hasn't done much in a bottom-six role. He is adding his usual physicality with 47 hits and 21 PIM over 14 contests, but there's little scoring upside in his game. Jeannot should at least see steady playing time, giving him modest fantasy appeal in banger leagues.

Alex Laferriere - Collects pair of assists Laferriere registered two assists and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Wild.

Impact Laferriere set up Warren Foegele and Kevin Fiala for goals 4:25 apart in the second period to give the Kings a 2-1 lead. Fiala's goal came on the power play, giving Laferriere his second power-play point in three games. The 23-year-old Laferriere is up to eight goals, five helpers, 33 shots on net, 24 hits and a plus-9 rating through 14 contests. While he's still shooting 24.2 percent, a number all but certain to come down over time, the winger has emerged as a contributor for points, shots and hits in fantasy.

Trevor Moore - Provides pair of assists Moore recorded two assists and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Wild.

Impact Moore has been finding his way with playmaking, producing four assists over the last three games. The winger helped out on the Kings' last two goals in Tuesday's runaway win. Moore is up to one goal, six helpers, 32 shots on net, 18 hits and a plus-2 rating through 14 contests. He continues to play in all situations, including a second-line role at even strength, but he has yet to record any special-teams points.

Quinton Byfield - First multi-point effort of 2024-25 Byfield notched a goal and an assist, as well as five shots, a hit and a plus-two rating, in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Wild.

Impact This was Byfield's best performance of the season by a wide margin, as he made his presence felt late in the third period by scoring his first goal of the campaign. The 22-year-old has seven points this season, and while this outing will probably act as a confidence-booster for him, he's not producing enough to warrant fantasy consideration as a waiver addition in most formats.

Warren Foegele - Scores in win over Minnesota Foegele scored a goal and took two shots in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Wild.

Impact Foegele was the first Los Angeles player to beat Filip Gustavsson in this game thanks to a backhand shot with 5:30 left in the second period. Foegele has five goals on the season, but overall, it's been a subpar campaign for the 28-year-old, as he's failed to crack the scoresheet in nine of his 14 contests to date. That said, considering he's cleared the 30-point mark just once in his eight-year career, fantasy managers shouldn't expect a lot of production out of him, especially now that he's playing as a bottom-six forward.

Trevor Lewis - Scores two goals Tuesday Lewis scored two goals, including an empty-netter in the third period, in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Wild.

Impact Lewis found the back of the net twice in the third period, notching his first multi-goal -- and multi-point -- effort of the campaign. That said, between his role as a bottom-six forward, his advanced age and his lack of production, Lewis is not worth looking at in standard formats. He'll probably deliver a few solid performances here and there, but he can't be trusted for sustained fantasy production.

Kevin Fiala - Nets power-play goal Tuesday Fiala scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Wild.

Impact Fiala scored his seventh goal of the season -- and the eventual game-winner -- late in the second period with a snap shot following set-ups from Anze Kopitar and Alex Laferriere. Fiala endured a slow start to the season but has been picking things up of late, scoring in three of his last four contests and currently riding a five-game point streak -- with three goals and four helpers during that stretch.

NOVEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Anze Kopitar - Point streak reaches four games Kopitar delivered a power-play assist in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Wild.

Impact Kopitar set up Kevin Fiala's goal late in the second period, and that would end up being the Kings' game-winner as part of a five-goal barrage in the final 25 minutes of play. Kopitar has cracked the scoresheet in four straight outings, and the veteran playmaker is not slowing down in his age-37 season. He has two goals and seven assists across his last 10 games while notching six points during his current four-game streak.

NOVEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

David Rittich - Allows one goal Tuesday Rittich stopped 23 of 24 shots in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Wild.

Impact The 32-year-old netminder gave up a goal midway through the second period, but he simply needed to keep Minnesota at bay the rest of the way since the Kings scored five unanswered goals to seal the win. Rittich has made seven appearances this season, and while his results have been a bit inconsistent, his 2.77 GAA is decent. He's also gone 4-3-0 with an .884 save percentage, and that latter figure could use an improvement to give the Kings a bigger sense of security between the pipes every time Darcy Kuemper is not starting.

David Rittich - In goal Tuesday Rittich will protect the road goal versus the Wild on Tuesday, Jared Shafran of LA Kings Insider reports.

Impact Rittich will start the second half of a back-to-back after Darcy Kuemper shut out the Predators on Monday. Rittich is 3-3-0 with a 3.09 GAA and an .870 save percentage through six appearances. He'll have his hands full in a tough matchup Tuesday.

Alex Turcotte - Won't play Tuesday Turcotte (undisclosed) won't be in the lineup Tuesday versus Minnesota, Jessi Pierce of NHL.com reports.

Impact Turcotte left Monday's 3-0 win over Nashville in the second period and did not return after taking a hit from Jeremy Lauzon. The 23-year-old Turcotte has one goal and four assists in 13 outings this season. He will be replaced in Tuesday's lineup by Andre Lee.

NOVEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Vladislav Gavrikov - Contributes helper in win Gavrikov recorded an assist, two blocked shots and two PIM in Monday's 3-0 win over the Predators.

Impact Gavrikov snapped a six-game point drought with his helper on Adrian Kempe's empty-net tally. Through 13 outings, Gavrikov has four assists, 17 shots on net, 28 blocks and a plus-7 rating. He's seen top-four minutes in the absence of Drew Doughty (ankle), though Gavrikov was listed on the third pairing despite playing 23:10 in Monday's contest.

Trevor Lewis - Adds assist in win Lewis registered an assist in Monday's 3-0 win over the Predators.

Impact This was Lewis' third point in 13 contests this season. He has 11 shots on net, 24 hits, nine blocked shots, eight PIM and a minus-3 rating while averaging 10:42 of ice time from a fourth-line role. Lewis appears to have the trust of head coach Jim Hiller, but the 37-year-old forward could be rotated out of the lineup on occasion. He has missed a total of two games over the last four years combined.

NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Kevin Fiala - Scores in Monday's win Fiala scored a goal on three shots in Monday's 3-0 win over the Predators.

Impact Fiala has five points over three games since he was scratched for missing a team meeting. More importantly for his stability in the lineup, he hasn't taken a penalty in that span. The winger is up to six goals, five helpers, 36 shots on net, eight hits, 12 PIM and a minus-2 rating through 12 appearances. He'll likely continue to fill a second-line role with a spot on the first power-play unit.

NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Anze Kopitar - Opens scoring in win Kopitar scored a goal and went plus-2 in Monday's 3-0 win over the Predators.

Impact Kopitar has piled up two goals and five points over his last three games. There's some concern with his shot volume -- he has just five shots over his last nine outings and no more than one in any of those contests. He shot 19.5 percent in 2023-24, tallying 26 times on 133 shots, which was easily his lowest shot total in a full-length campaign. This year, he has five goals, nine helpers, 12 shots on net and a plus-4 rating over 13 appearances, but his currents numbers are a signal to sell high.

NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Adrian Kempe - Two points in Monday's win Kempe scored a goal and added an assist in Monday's 3-0 win over the Predators.

Impact After helping to set up Anze Kopitar in the first period for what proved to be the game-winning tally, Kempe tucked home an empty-netter late in the third to wrap up the scoring. It's the third multi-point performance in the last five games for Kempe, and the 28-year-old has five goals and 12 points through 13 contests to begin the season.

NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Darcy Kuemper - Blanks Preds on Monday Kuemper made 16 saves in Monday's 3-0 win over Nashville.

Impact The Kings' defense was at peak stinginess, allowing only three shots in the third period, and Kuemper took care of the rest. It's the first shutout of the season for the veteran netminder, and since returning in late October from a lower-body injury Kuemper has looked sharp, going 3-0-1 over his last four starts with a 1.97 GAA and .910 save percentage.
