13-8-3 · 3RD IN WEST, PACIFIC
Jordan Spence - Nabs helper Spence posted an assist in Friday's 5-4 win over the Coyotes.
Impact Spence has been bounced between the NHL and AHL levels lately as the Kings manage a tight salary cap. The defenseman has regularly played on the third pairing and second power-play unit for the Kings, and he's logged both of his assists this season over the last two games. He's added three shots on net, four hits, seven blocked shots and a plus-2 rating.

Arthur Kaliyev - Registers helper in win Kaliyev recorded an assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 5-4 win over the Coyotes.
Impact Kaliyev had been held off the scoresheet in the previous two games before setting up a Quinton Byfield tally Friday. Through five outings this season, Kaliyev has one goal, three assists, nine shots on net, a plus-3 rating, six PIM and four hits. He's seeing regular middle-six usage, including a season-high 16:32 of ice time Friday.
OCTOBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Trevor Moore - Grabs helper Friday Moore recorded an assist and four shots on goal in Friday's 5-4 win over the Coyotes.
Impact Moore continues to offer consistent offense in a middle-six role. He set up Drew Doughty on the game-winning goal with 1:59 left in the third period Friday. Moore has five goals, two helpers, 20 shots on net, four hits, four PIM and a plus-1 rating through seven appearances. The winger plays in all situations, though it's his defensive acumen that keeps his playing time steady.
OCTOBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin Fiala - Garners assist in win Fiala notched a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 5-4 win over the Coyotes.
Impact Fiala stretched his point streak to six games with the helper. The winger has earned all of his offense this season in that span, posting one goal and nine assists. Three of his helpers have come with the man advantage, and he's added 18 shots on net, six blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through seven contests.
OCTOBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Adrian Kempe - Distributes two helpers Kempe registered two assists and seven shots on goal in Friday's 5-4 win over the Coyotes.
Impact One of Kempe's helpers came on the power play. The 27-year-old forward has earned multiple points in three of the last four games, getting on track after a slightly slow start to the season. He's at two goals, five helpers, three power-play points, 24 shots on net, 13 hits and a plus-2 rating through seven outings overall.
OCTOBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Anze Kopitar - Nets equalizer Kopitar scored a goal on four shots in Friday's 5-4 win over the Coyotes.
Impact Kopitar's third-period tally tied the game at 4-4, erasing the Kings' three-goal deficit. The center continues to provide consistency on offense with at least one point in six of seven games this season. He's at four goals, four helpers, 17 shots on net, seven blocked shots and a minus-1 rating. Friday's game was just the second time this season Kopitar finished with less than 20 minutes of ice time -- he's showing no signs of slowing down at age 36.
OCTOBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Mikey Anderson - One of each Friday Anderson scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Friday's 5-4 win over the Coyotes.
Impact Anderson continues to step up his game on offense -- he's gotten on the scoresheet in five of seven contests so far. He tallied in the first period and then helped out on Drew Doughty's game-winner in the third Friday. Anderson has a goal, five assists, seven shots on net, 15 hits, seven blocked shots and a plus-4 rating to begin 2023-24. While it's likely unsustainable, his physical play makes him an option for fantasy managers looking for a short-term boost.
OCTOBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Quinton Byfield - Earns two points in win Byfield scored a goal on three shots, added an assist and went plus-2 in Friday's 5-4 win over the Coyotes.
Impact Byfield set up a Mikey Anderson goal in the first period and then scored one of his own in the third. This was Byfield's first multi-point game of the season, doubling his total to two goals and four points over seven appearances. He saw a season-low 12:18 of ice time Friday, but that was likely a product of the Kings leaning on their stars to pull off a comeback win. Byfield has added 11 shots on net and a plus-4 rating in a top-line role at even strength, and he's doing enough to warrant consideration in deeper fantasy formats.
OCTOBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Drew Doughty - Completes comeback win Doughty scored twice on four shots and blocked two shots in Friday's 5-4 win over the Coyotes.
Impact Doughty sparked the comeback with a power-play tally in the second period, then finished it with his second goal of the game at 18:01 of the third. This was his first multi-point effort of the season. The veteran blueliner has three goals, two assists, 13 shots on net, 13 hits, nine blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through seven contests.

Cam Talbot - Steady in relief appearance Talbot stopped 17 of 18 shots in relief of Pheonix Copley in Friday's 5-4 win over the Coyotes.
Impact Talbot was responsible for the Coyotes' fourth goal, but the Kings were able to bounce back over the last two periods. The 36-year-old Talbot was in net for 51:04 of this contest, so it's unclear if he'll get the nod Saturday versus the Golden Knights -- the Kings have typically let a winning goalie get the next start this season. He's won three of his five appearances despite allowing 13 goals on 138 shots for a modest .906 save percentage this year.
OCTOBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Pheonix Copley - Quick hook Friday Copley stopped three of six shots in Friday's 5-4 win over the Coyotes.
Impact While the Kings ultimately rallied for a win, Copley's poor effort at the start put them in an early hole. He lasted just 8:21 into the game before ceding the crease to Cam Talbot, who gave up a goal within his first minute in the game. With 11 goals allowed on 52 shots through three outings, Copley's not doing himself any favors for earning more playing time. He could be at risk of losing the backup job altogether if the Kings opt to call up David Rittich at any point.

Pheonix Copley - Slated to start against Yotes Copley is expected to get the starting nod in Friday's road matchup with Arizona, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
Impact Copley will make consecutive starts for the first time this season after Cam Talbot played in four of the club's six contests. While Talbot has gotten the bulk of the workload, Copley could take a bigger share of the netminding duties if he can put together a handful of strong performances.

Jordan Spence - Called up from AHL Spence was recalled from the minors Thursday.
Impact Considering Spence has played in five of the Kings' six games this season, his promotion from AHL Ontario shouldn't come as a surprise. In those outings, the 22-year-old blueliner garnered one assist, four hits and three shots while averaging 14:16 of ice time. With Los Angeles hard up against the cap, fantasy players should expect Spence to continue moving between leagues frequently as a cap-saving measure.

Jaret Anderson-Dolan - Elevated from minors Anderson-Dolan was called up from AHL Ontario on Thursday.
Impact Anderson-Dolan hasn't played for the Kings since the season opener against Carolina on Oct. 14, serving as a healthy scratch for the last four contests. Even with his promotion Thursday, the 24-year-old center could face an uphill battle to get into the lineup against Arizona on Friday.

Jordan Spence - Heads to minors Spence was reassigned to AHL Ontario on Wednesday.
Impact Spence has an assist, four hits and seven blocks in five outings with LA this year. The 22-year-old is moving to the minors for now, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him rejoin the Kings in the near future. He recorded four goals and 45 points in 56 outings with Ontario in 2022-23.

Jaret Anderson-Dolan - Returns to minors Anderson-Dolan was sent to AHL Ontario on Wednesday.
Impact Anderson-Dolan logged just 6:51 of ice time in a 6-5 shootout loss to Carolina on Oct. 14 and has served as a healthy scratch in four games since. Along the way, LA has moved him up and down between the Kings and Ontario, though he's yet to make an appearance in an AHL contest this campaign.

Andreas Englund - Puts up helper Englund logged an assist in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Coyotes.
Impact Englund has two assists over his last three games, which accounts for all of his offense this season. The 27-year-old has added 16 hits, five blocked shots, 10 PIM and a plus-1 rating as a physical presence on the Kings' third pairing. His ice time remains limited, as does his offensive potential, and a run of poor play could open the door for Tobias Bjornfot to replace Englund in the lineup.

Jordan Spence - Notches helper Spence logged an assist and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Coyotes.
Impact The helper was Spence's first point in five outings this season. The 22-year-old defenseman is seeing steady playing time over Tobias Bjornfot on the third pairing, but Spence isn't getting a ton of ice time. He's been solid in the non-scoring areas with seven blocked shots, four hits, three shots on net and a plus-1 rating, and his limited role suggests fantasy managers shouldn't expect a lot of offense.
