Arthur Kaliyev Ruled Out Indefinitely With Fractured Clavicle
Los Angeles Kings right wing Arthur Kaliyev has been ruled out indefinitely after suffering a fractured clavicle. Kaliyev was hurt on Day 2 of training camp Friday. These types of injuries typically take at least 10 weeks to heal, meaning Kaliyev is looking at a multi-month absence. Los Angeles is forced to start the season without a player who has averaged close to 0.4 points per game for his career while mostly filling a fourth-line role. It was a down year for Kaliyev in 2023-24, however, as the 23-year-old finished with 15 points (seven goals, eight assists) in 51 games.
Arthur Kaliyev Expected To Miss Several Months With Upper-Body Injury
Los Angeles Kings right wing Arthur Kaliyev (upper body) is expected to miss several months of action after getting hurt in practice on Friday. Kaliyev, who had just re-signed to a one-year deal earlier in the week, suffered an upper-body injury on a hit and may need surgery. The 23-year-old posted 15 points (seven goals, eight assists) in 51 appearances last season and has been a solid contributor in limited playing time for the Kings, with 71 points (35 goals, 36 assists) collected in 188 career games.
Los Angeles Kings right wing Arthur Kaliyev has signed a one-year, $825,000 contract with the team. After finishing his entry-level contract, Kaliyev spent the entire offseason as a restricted free agent. But he can now finally celebrate a new deal right before the start of training camp. Kaliyev has played a minuscule role with the Kings during his three-year NHL career, but he has always found ways to be productive. In 188 career games, the Uzbekistan-born winger has tallied 35 goals and 71 points while averaging only around 12 minutes of ice time. However, Kaliyev did take a step back in 2023-24, going for 15 points (seven goals, eight assists) in 51 outings.
Arthur Kaliyev Set To Return To Kings Lineup Friday
Los Angeles Kings right wing Arthur Kaliyev is expected to play Friday versus Colorado. Kaliyev has been in and out of the lineup lately and has been scratched for three consecutive contests. Recent reports suggest that he's looking for a change of scenery due to his situation in Los Angeles. In Friday's matchup, Kaliyev has a chance to show teams what he has to offer or convince the Kings to use him more. The 22-year has averaged only 13:24 of playing time in 36 games this season. He started the campaign well but has been held scoreless in 10 of his last 11 appearances and sits on six goals and 14 points.
Los Angeles Kings winger Arthur Kaliyev (illness) is expected to play Wednesday against the Jets after being absent from Tuesday's practice. It looks like Kaliyev has shaken off the illness bug that made him unavailable on Tuesday as he returned to the ice Wednesday morning. The 22-year-old has continued to play an effective game in limited minutes in 2023-24, notching six goals and six assists in 23 outings while averaging only 13:27 on the ice. He should play in his normal fourth-line role on Wednesday with some time on the power play.
Los Angeles Kings right wing Arthur Kaliyev has been suspended for four games. He will be forced to sit out two preseason games and two regular-season contests for kneeing Anaheim's Chase De Leo in Tuesday's preseason matchup. The incident has unfortunately resulted in an even bigger absence for De Leo, who suffered an MCL sprain and has been ruled out for eight weeks. Kaliyev isn't among L.A.'s big hitters, but he's been a fairly productive player in a limited role and the team definitely would've preferred to have him available for the start of the campaign. Kaliyev put up 28 points (13 goals, 15 assists) in 56 outings last season despite averaging only 11:40 of ice time.
Los Angeles Kings winger Arthur Kaliyev (illness) is available to play in Game 6 against the Oilers on Saturday. Kaliyev was out for two games as a healthy scratch before missing Tuesday's 6-3 loss to Edmonton in Game 5 due to an illness. It has yet to be announced if the 21-year-old forward will play Saturday for the Kings in Game 6. He scored 13 goals and added 15 assists in 56 regular season contests this year.
Los Angeles Kings winger Arthur Kaliyev netted twice in Monday's 6-5 loss to Calgary. He was able to put his team 2-1 up with a pair of first-period goals, but the Flames went on to score four in a row and the Kings managed to make it a one-goal game only with 1:19 left in the third. Kaliyev had five shots on goal in total and saw one of his efforts miss the target. The 21-year-old has been sneaky good this season, putting up six goals and seven assists in 17 games, while averaging only 11:18 of ice time. His current role seems to fit him well, but Kaliyev is doing his best to get promoted from a fourth-line role. He has become only the sixth Kings player in the past 25 years to score his first 20 career goals in fewer than 100 games. Kaliyev has lit the lamp 21 times in 98 outings, adding 20 assists.
Los Angeles Kings right wing Arthur Kaliyev became the 21st Kings player to score in his NHL debut. He also added an assist in a 3-1 loss to the in-state rival Anaheim Ducks. Kaliyev had three goals and five assists in the IIHF World Junior Championship, helping the United States win gold in January. The Staten Island, New York native, has proven he can score at all levels. Look for fantasy managers to add the 19-year-old forward as the season progresses.
