Trevor Moore May Return Tuesday

Los Angeles Kings winger Trevor Moore (upper body) is a game-time decision for Tuesday's tilt against the New York Rangers. Moore sat out Sunday's win over the Boston Bruins due to an upper-body injury. However, he skated in a regular jersey on Tuesday morning, which suggests that Moore may be ready to return to the lineup against the Rangers. His return will likely send Trevor Lewis back to the press box as a healthy scratch. The Kings have seen Moore up his game recently, as he has scored in both of his last two appearances. For the season, Moore has tallied 15 goals and 32 points in 59 games.

Quinton Byfield Busy In Sunday's Victory

Los Angeles Kings center Quinton Byfield tallied two points for his second-straight contest on Sunday evening against the Boston Bruins. In the second period, Byfield would add the secondary assist on Drew Doughty's third goal of the campaign. Later in the third, Byfield would find the back of the net on a wrist shot during even-strength play. Byfield is currently riding a two-game goal-scoring streak. Over his previous 10 contests, Byfield has been one of the most productive forwards in the league, as he has found the back of the net eight times over this stretch. During this 10-game span, he has also added two helpers and logged 21 shots on goal with 16 hits. Through 69 games this season, Byfield has scored 19 goals and is just one away from matching his previous career high. The 22-year-old remains a strong play in DFS as he continues this productive stretch.

Trevor Moore Out On Sunday

Los Angeles Kings winger Trevor Moore (upper body) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Boston Bruins. He is considered day-to-day. Kings head coach Jim Hiller plans to enter Trevor Lewis into the lineup as Moore's replacement. Moore had just picked up good momentum with goals in back-to-back outings, but he will sit out at least one game due to an upper-body injury. Lewis will log his first minutes since a 3-2 shootout loss to the St. Louis Blues on March 3. He offers far less value to fantasy managers than Moore, having notched only eight points (four goals, four assists) in 48 games this season.

Drew Doughty Expected To Play Tuesday Night

Los Angeles Kings defenseman Drew Doughty is expected to remain in the lineup on Tuesday against the New York Islanders. The star rearguard missed Tuesday's morning skate. However, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports that Doughty will play against the Islanders. The 35-year-old is expected to take more maintenance days moving forward. Doughty recently mentioned that he will need to manage a lower-body injury for the rest of the season. The Kings began the campaign without Doughty and have had him in the lineup for only 14 games. He has recorded six points (one goal, five assists), 21 shots, 26 blocks, and 13 hits while averaging 25:40 of ice time.

Drew Doughty Ready To Return To Kings Lineup

Los Angeles Kings defenseman Drew Doughty (lower body) will rejoin the lineup for Friday's road game against the Dallas Stars. Doughty, whose season debut was delayed until late January due to a broken ankle, missed Wednesday's clash against the Vancouver Canucks with a lower-body injury. On Friday, Dought noted that he will have to "manage" his current injury for the rest of the campaign. This likely means that he will sit out further action down the road. The former Norris Trophy winner has made eight appearances with the Kings this season, logging four points (one goal, three assists), 15 shots, 13 blocks, and 11 hits, along with a plus-four rating.

Darcy Kuemper Earns Fourth Straight Win

Los Angeles Kings goaltender Darcy Kuemper earned his fourth-straight victory on Monday evening in a 5-2 victory against the Vegas Golden Knights. The Kings were slightly outshot in this contest, but Kuemper was able to lead the way. He allowed both of his goals in the second period during 5-on-5 play. However, in the third, Kuemper stopped all nine shots he faced. During this four-game winning streak, Kuemper has allowed two goals or less in two of these games. He has held a .900 save percentage with a 2.50 GAA. Prior to this stretch, Kuemper carried a 1-3-1 record but posted a similar .906 save percentage with a 2.64 GAA. Fantasy managers should continue to expect the 34-year-old to see most of the starts for the remainder of the season. He will likely be given the starting nod to face the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday evening.

Quinton Byfield Tallies Four Assists In Victory

Darcy Kuemper Attempts To Stretch Winning Streak To Four Games

Los Angeles Kings goaltender Darcy Kuemper will pick up his 31st start of the season in Monday's showdown against the Vegas Golden Knights. He enters play with a three-game winning streak. Kuemper has benefited from a hot offense during this stretch, as he has allowed three goals in back-to-back starts and owns a lowly .896 save percentage over that period. The 34-year-old has previously won four starts on the bounce just once this season, going 17-6-6 overall. Kuemper's goals-against average stands at 2.22, and he has registered a .918 save percentage with two shutouts. A meeting with the Pacific Division leaders presents a difficult matchup for Kuemper, but he has been nearly unbeatable on home ice this season with a 9-1-1 record.

However, according to John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio, Anderson is expected to return to the lineup on Feb. 22 against Utah after the 4 Nations Face-Off. Anderson has registered 14 points (five goals, nine assists) in 49 appearances, with 58 shots, 83 blocks, and 68 hits.

David Rittich Starts Against Dallas On Friday

Los Angeles Kings goaltender David Rittich will start Friday's home game against the Dallas Stars. L.A.'s No. 1 option between the sticks, Darcy Kuemper, is expected to dress as the backup after welcoming a child into his family. Kuemper will likely return to work on Saturday when the Kings wrap up a back-to-back against the Anaheim Ducks. Following a great start to the season, Rittich's form has faded over the last couple of months. He has won only two outings since December, bringing his record to 11-11-0. The Czech netminder has a 2.62 goals-against average with a .889 save percentage. Rittich faces a tough matchup on Friday against one of the best teams in the league, but the Kings have dropped only four home games in 2024-25, boosting his chances of success.

Darcy Kuemper Aims To Continue Home Success Wednesday

Los Angeles Kings goaltender Darcy Kuemper will face the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday as a starter. He will hope to improve a 15-6-6 record.

Over the entire season, Kuemper has a goals-against average of 2.16 and is sporting a .921 save percentage.

Drew Doughty Set For Season Debut Wednesday

Los Angeles Kings defenseman Drew Doughty (ankle) will make his first appearance of the season in Wednesday's matchup against the Florida Panthers. Doughty's season debut has been delayed due to a broken ankle. Last season, Doughy averaged nearly 26 minutes of ice time, but the team will likely ease him back into action, limiting his fantasy value in the short term. He is set to skate with Jacob Moverare and will join the first power-play unit. Brandt Clarke, who leads the Kings blue-liners with 24 points this season, appears to be heading to the press box on Wednesday to accommodate Doughty's return to the lineup.

Kevin Fiala A Game-Time Call On Wednesday

According to Dennis Bernstein of The Fourth Period, Los Angeles Kings left wing Kevin Kiala (illness) will likely be a game-time decision on Wednesday evening against the Florida Panthers. Fantasy managers should continue to keep an eye on his status leading up to puck drop. If he were unable to play, 25-year-old Akil Thomas will likely draw into the starting lineup. Over his previous six contests. Fiala has scored two goals and added five helpers. During this stretch, two of his points have come on the power-play. Before this recent surge, the 28-year-old tallied just two points (two goals) over his previous nine games. If Fiala were to suit up, he would likely return to his role on the third offensive line and second power-play unit.
