ANDREI KUZMENKO NEWS

Breaks up shutout bid Kuzmenko scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Devils.

Impact Kuzmenko scored at 9:49 of the third period to break up Jacob Markstrom's shutout bid. The tally ended a three-game point drought for Kuzmenko. The 29-year-old winger has been fine on offense early in 2025-26, posting three goals, four assists, 19 shots on net, 13 hits and a plus-2 rating over 13 appearances. He's still in a top-line role and can go on hot streaks, so there's some upside for fantasy managers in search of offense.

Strikes on power play Kuzmenko scored a power-play goal on two shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact Kuzmenko has two power-play goals and four total points through six games this season. The absence of Anze Kopitar (foot, week-to-week) won't help Kuzmenko's productivity, though the Kings as a whole have been somewhat underwhelming so far. In addition to his four points, the 29-year-old winger has accumulated nine shots on net, nine hits and a plus-1 rating while seeing top-six minutes and power-play time. He won't stay that physical all season, but he should provide decent offense.

Provides pair of points Kuzmenko scored a power-play goal on two shots, added an assist and logged two hits in Wednesday's 6-5 shootout win over the Golden Knights.

Impact Kuzmenko opened the scoring just 4:41 into the game, and he had a hand in Brandt Clarke's game-tying goal in the third period. However, after the tying goal, Kuzmenko received just two shifts. The 29-year-old is penciled in on the top line and showed some talent late in 2024-25 in that spot alongside Anze Kopitar and Adrian Kempe. Kuzmenko will need to showcase his skill without dipping in performance, as head coach Jim Hiller could give another winger a look in his spot if he slumps too long at any point in the year.

SEPTEMBER 10 • THEHOCKEYNEWS.COM

Staying in LA Kuzmenko signed a one-year, $4.3 million contract with the Kings on Monday.

Impact Kuzmenko had 11 goals, 37 points and 83 shots on net in 66 regular-season appearances with LA, Calgary and Philadelphia in 2024-25. He was a solid fit with the Kings, supplying five goals and 17 points in 22 regular-season outings before adding three tallies and three helpers in six playoff appearances. Kuzmenko will probably see time on the top line and the first power-play unit in the 2025-26 campaign.

Nets lone goal in loss Kuzmenko scored a power-play goal on two shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 5.

Impact Kuzmenko was silenced for the previous two games in Edmonton. He responded with the opening tally early in the second period Tuesday, but that was all the Kings could muster against Calvin Pickard in Game 5. Kuzmenko has three goals, three assists, 14 shots on net, five hits and a minus-3 rating over five playoff outings. He's earned four of his six points this postseason while on the power play.

Goal, assist in win Kuzmenko scored a power-play goal on four shots and added an assist in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Oilers in Game 2.

Impact Kuzmenko, Adrian Kempe and Anze Kopitar combined for four goals and 10 points in this contest. Through two playoff outings, Kuzmenko already has two goals, three assists, nine shots on net and a plus-2 rating. The 29-year-old has been an excellent fit on the Kings' top line and that looks to be continuing in the postseason, so he should be in consideration for DFS managers needing an offense-only option.

Three points in series opener Kuzmenko scored a power-play goal and added two assists, including one on the power play, in Monday's 6-5 win over the Oilers in Game 1.

Impact Kuzmenko also added five shots, one hit and a plus-1 rating in this outing while leading the Kings in total points. The left winger finished the regular season on a tear with 13 points (three goals, 10 assists) over his final 10 contests, and he seems to be translating that form into the playoffs. The Kings will certainly need him at his best if they want to get past the challenge of the Oilers.
