Pots power-play goal Kempe scored a power-play goal on two shots and went minus-3 in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Avalanche in Game 3.

Impact Kempe has had trouble this postseason, as this was his first goal in three playoff games. He's added five shots on net, three hits, four PIM and a minus-3 rating. The Kings are facing elimination as soon as Sunday's Game 4, so they'll need more out of their top players. In previous playoff runs, Kempe collected 15 goals and 29 points across 28 appearances. Barring a miracle, this will be the fifth straight year with a first-round exit for the Kings.

Tallies again Tuesday Kempe scored a goal on five shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Canucks.

Impact Kempe is up to 10 goals over his last nine contests as he finishes the regular season in great form. The 29-year-old is up to 36 goals, 73 points, 224 shots on net, 126 hits, 58 PIM and a plus-15 rating over 80 appearances. If Kempe plays in the regular-season finale Thursday versus the Flames, he's within striking range of matching his career-best 75-point campaign from 2023-24. Most impressively, he's sustained his usual level offense despite his power-play output (12 points) being the lowest he's had in the last six years.

Pots game-winner Kempe scored a goal on five shots in Monday's 5-3 win over the Kraken.

Impact Kempe has nine goals and four assists over his last nine outings. The 29-year-old's tally Monday was the game-winner, his career-best eighth GWG of the campaign. Kempe is at 35 goals, 72 points, 219 shots on net, 125 hits, 56 PIM and a plus-14 rating through 79 appearances this season. The Kings clinched their playoff spot with the win, but there's still seeding to sort out, so it's unclear if Kempe or any other regulars will be rested over the last two regular-season games.

Crosses 70-point mark Kempe scored twice and went plus-2 in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.

Impact Kempe opened the scoring at 1:29 of the first period and added a second goal late in the middle frame. The 29-year-old is up to 34 goals, 37 helpers, 211 shots on net, 122 hits, 56 PIM and a plus-13 rating over 77 appearances. This is the third year in a row he's crossed the 70-point mark. He's surged with eight goals and four assists over his last seven outings, and that momentum puts him in a good spot to challenge his career high of 75 points from the 2023-24 regular season.
