Joel Armia Fantasy Stats

Los Angeles Kings right wing Joel Armia (back) is expected to rejoin the lineup on Saturday against the Buffalo Sabres. The Finnish forward has missed 10 games due to a back injury. He is projected to link up with Alex Turcotte and Scott Laughton on the third line. With four short-handed goals, Armia is tied for second in the league this season. Overall, he has produced 10 goals and 20 points in 53 appearances. Armia and the Kings face a tough test on Saturday against a team that has lost just three times since February, recording back-to-back shutouts.

Los Angeles Kings right wing Joel Armia (upper body) has been placed on Injured Reserve. The Finnish veteran missed a second consecutive game on Monday night against the Colorado Avalanche. Armia has notched 20 points (10 goals, 10 assists) in 53 contests this season, sitting tied for the league lead with four short-handed goals. The Kings recalled Jared Wright from the minors ahead of Monday's game, and he made his NHL debut in Armia's place. L.A.'s attack was also without Trevor Moore (illness) and Quinton Byfield (upper body) on Monday, opening a spot in the lineup for another debutant, Kenny Connors.

Los Angeles Kings right wing Joel Armia was limited to 4:46 of action on Thursday against the Edmonton Oilers, leaving the game with an upper-body injury. Armia was one of the standout players at the Olympic tournament and was looking to build on that momentum. Unfortunately, he played only a handful of minutes on Thursday night and could miss additional time. Armia has totaled 10 goals and 20 points in 53 games with the Kings this season. Andrei Kuzmenko (undisclosed) or Samuel Helenius could replace Armia in the lineup on Saturday against the Calgary Flames. Kuzmenko is dealing with an undisclosed injury but was labeled day-to-day on Thursday and might be ready to play over the weekend.

Los Angeles Kings right wing Joel Armia amassed three points in Saturday's bronze-medal matchup against Slovakia, helping Finland to a 6-1 victory. Armia bagged an empty-net goal and had two assists, becoming the first Finnish player with three-plus points in a playoff game at an Olympic tournament featuring NHL players. The 32-year-old was on fire throughout the Olympics in Milan and is tied for fourth in scoring, with only the final left to play. In six games, Armia had three goals and five assists. Armia's offensive production in the NHL is far from the same level, but he will have good momentum when the season resumes next week. With the Kings, Armia has tallied 20 points (10 goals, 10 assists) in 51 games.

Los Angeles Kings right wing Joel Armia (upper body) will rejoin the action on Friday against the Anaheim Ducks. He has been cleared for the Freeway Face-Off after missing five games due to an upper-body injury. Unfortunately for the Kings, their frontline will remain without Anze Kopitar (upper body), Trevor Moore (upper body), and Corey Perry (personal). As a result, Armia will fill a second-line role and could also get a healthy amount of power-play time. The Finnish veteran has totaled 16 points (nine goals, seven assists) in 41 outings this season.

Los Angeles Kings right wing Joel Armia (upper body) didn't complete Monday's 4-2 victory over the Minnesota Wild. The Finnish forward departed the game in the second period due to an upper-body injury. With Trevor Moore (illness) out, Armia has recently been on second-line duty. The Kings also lost Anze Kopitar (lower body) on Monday night, meaning further tweaks in the top six could be coming for Wednesday's matchup against the San Jose Sharks. Armia has totaled 16 points (nine goals, seven assists) in 41 games during his first season with the Kings.

Montreal Canadiens right wing Joel Armia (hand) is on track to return to the lineup on Saturday against the Florida Panthers. He was unavailable for Wednesday's clash against the Seattle Kraken due to an arm injury. Patrik Laine took Armia's spot in the lineup, returning from an illness. On Saturday, Michael Pezzetta is expected to make way for Armia in the lineup. The Finnish forward will partner Emil Heineman and Jake Evans on the fourth line. Armia has procured only one point over his past 12 appearances, but he has been Montreal's sixth-highest scoring forward this season with 25 points (11 goals, 14 assists) in 64 games.

Montreal Canadiens winger Joel Armia potted his second career hat trick Thursday, providing half of the goals in a 6-2 triumph over the Capitals. Armia started the three-goal effort with a short-handed tally, added one marker in an even-strength situation, and wrapped up his night with an empty-netter. The 29-year-old scored his first hat trick against the Rangers in March 2019. Armia has had all kinds of health issues this season and skated in only his 40th game Thursday. He's done very little on the offensive front, going for seven goals and seven assists.

Forward Joel Armia agreed to a four-year contract with a $3.4 million AAV to remain with the Montreal Canadiens and forgo the open market as an unrestricted free agent. The middle-six winger isn't a huge scorer but he has massive value in real-life hockey due to his defensive skills, size, and penalty-killing abilities. The 28-year-old scored two short-handed goals during Montreal's unexpected playoff run that saw the club fall to the Tampa Lightning in the Stanley Cup final series. In the regular season, the native of Finland scored just seven goals with 14 total points in 41 games but he had previously scored at least 10 goals over the previous four seasons. He's not likely to be a fantasy target unless the league rewards short-handed goals/points.

Montreal Canadiens winger Joel Armia will return to the lineup on Wednesday against Calgary after missing over three weeks of action due to COVID-19. The 27-year-old will be back in action as a second-liner alongside Nick Suzuki and Montreal's top goal-scorer Tyler Toffoli. Armia has five goals and 10 points for the season in 24 games with 46 shots and 46 hits. Fantasy managers needing some offensive help as the regular season draws to a close should have a look at Armia, who had a productive start to the campaign whilst playing with Toffoli. Jake Allen starts in the net for the Canadiens, heading into the clash with a 6-6-4 record.

Montreal Canadiens forwards Joel Armia and Jesperi Kotkaniemi were added to the NHL's COVID-19 protocols list on Monday, and they will miss Monday's home game against Edmonton. It's a bitter blow for the Canadiens, who were already set to be without Tyler Toffoli for the whole week. Armia and Kotkaniemi have had some success on the team's third line throughout the season, but they have been quiet lately. Especially Armia, who comes out of the lineup with a six-game point drought. Former MVP Corey Perry should get a bigger role with all the absentees, with other depth forwards benefiting as well.

Montreal Canadiens winger Joel Armia struck twice against the Jets in Thursday's 6-3 loss, joining Tomas Tatar on the scoreboard. Armia made it 2-0 and Tatar produced a power-play goal to put the Habs 3-1 up, but the Jets ended up ruining Dominique Ducharme's debut as Montreal head coach. Armia ended a six-game dry spell with the two-goal effort and now has four goals and 10 points for the year in 12 outings. His numbers are deceiving, though, as Armia had a four-point outing on Jan. 21. The 27-year-old winger has battled with health issues during the season and has dropped to the fourth line, so fantasy managers should ignore him for now, but Armia could have some value if he moves up the lineup.

Montreal Canadiens right wing Joel Armia had a superb outing against the Canucks on Thursday, finishing a 7-3 win with four points. He had two goals and two assists with half of the points coming in short-handed situations. Armia posted a nice plus-three rating in the contest and had three shots on goal. However, his night sadly ended on a negative note when he suffered a concussion in the third period following an illegal check to the head by Tyler Myers. Armia has been part of a very productive third line that includes the red-hot Tyler Toffoli, so this could be a major blow to Montreal's offense.
