Brandt Clarke - NHL News & Rumors

Bags goal Monday Clarke scored a goal and recorded four blocked shots in Monday's 6-3 win over the Rangers.

Impact Clarke nearly had two goals Monday, but he had a tally called back in the second period due to interference. The 23-year-old defenseman is up to three goals, eight points, 21 PIM, 20 shots on net and 24 blocked shots across 10 appearances this season. All three of his goals have arrived in the Kings' last six games, which have helped him display a side of his game that he's slowly improved across his five seasons at the NHL level. With the Kings getting back on track in all phases of the game, Clarke should continue to play a large role both on the power play and at even strength, making him a solid fantasy option in most league formats.

Clarke has fully assumed the mantle of No. 1 defenseman for the Kings this season from Drew Doughty, and through eight games the 23-year-old has two goals and seven points while adding 16 blocked shots, 18 shots on net, 21 PIM and a minus-5 rating.

Scores lone goal in loss Clarke scored a goal on six shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Oilers.

Impact While the Kings have started the year poorly, Clarke's offense has been a bright spot. The goal was his first of the year to go with three assists and 15 shots on net. The 23-year-old defenseman hasn't been credited with a hit yet, but he has racked up 15 PIM and nine blocked shots, showing multiple ways to frustrate opponents. As long as the penalties don't become reckless, Clarke is a lock to handle top-four minutes.

Slings pair of helpers Clarke logged two assists, including one on the power play, and added five shots on goal, two blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Sharks.

Impact Clarke has racked up six shots, four blocks, five PIM and a minus-1 rating over two contests. The 23-year-old defenseman is in a position to take over as the leader on the blue line as Drew Doughty's role continues to shrink. Clarke had 40 points, 185 blocks and 63 PIM over 82 regular-season outings last year, and it wouldn't be surprising for his offense to find another level in 2026-27.

Defenseman Brandt Clarke has agreed to a five-year, $37 million deal to stay with the Los Angeles Kings

JUNE 26 • Associated Press

Signs five-year extension Clarke signed a five-year, $37 million contract extension with the Kings on Friday.

Impact Clarke wrapped up his entry-level deal in 2025-26, posting eight goals, 32 assists, 159 shots on net, 185 blocked shots, 63 PIM and a plus-11 rating over 82 regular-season games. His new deal will carry a $7.4 million cap hit. This cements his place in the Kings' future plans and should help the team ease the transition on the blue line as Clarke starts to take over the top role from Drew Doughty. The 23-year-old Clarke should be a popular fantasy pick this year, especially if he retains a spot on the first power-play unit.

Clarke had a career-high 40 points, including 13 on the power play, over 82 regular-season outings in 2025-26.

Impact Clarke was heavily involved in the Kings' offensive efforts Saturday, picking up two primary helpers in the second period before sliding the secondary assist on Anze Kopitar's record-breaking goal in the third. Clarke's trio of apples Saturday elevated him to 29 on the season, which surpassed his previous career-best of 28 through 78 regular-season games a year ago. Overall, the 23-year-old blueliner has 37 points, 129 shots on net and 134 blocked shots across 66 games this season. The young defenseman has taken a step up offensively this season while also maintaining his defensive impact, as he's currently tied for 11th in the NHL in blocked shots. The future is bright for Clarke, who profiles as a solid defenseman in nearly all fantasy formats moving forward.
