Columbus Blue Jackets vs. Los Angeles Kings - News - December 22, 2025 | FOX Sports

Pheonix Copley - Will start Tuesday Copley will protect the home goal versus the Kraken on Tuesday, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports.

Impact Copley will make his first NHL appearance of 2025-26 as the Kings play in the second half of a back-to-back. The 33-year-old will get a fairly easy assignment -- the Kraken have scored 14 goals over their last six contests and played Monday as well, earning a 3-1 win over the Ducks.

Damon Severson - Logs two power-play helpers Severson notched two power-play assists, three shots on goal and four PIM in Monday's 3-1 win over the Kings.

Impact Severson has three helpers over the last four games. He's getting a bit better usage than usual to help cover the absence of Zach Werenski (lower body). Severson has earned 12 points (four on the power play), 42 shots on net, 28 hits, 35 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 36 appearances in a top-four role this year.

Kirill Marchenko - Strikes on power play Marchenko scored a power-play goal on two shots in Monday's 3-1 win over the Kings.

Impact Marchenko's tally ended a four-game slide for the winger. The 25-year-old could see his ice time dip a bit after the Blue Jackets acquired Mason Marchment from the Kraken on Friday, but there should still be plenty of room for Marchenko to make a regular impact on offense. For the season, he's produced 11 goals, 27 points (11 on the power play), 94 shots on net, 28 hits and a plus-3 rating over 32 appearances.

Andrei Kuzmenko - Pots goal vs. Blue Jackets Kuzmenko scored a goal in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Blue Jackets.

Impact Kuzmenko has found the back of the net in two of his last four games. Despite holding a bottom-six role, the 29-year-old winger has found ways to produce -- he has six goals and 10 points in 30 appearances this season.

Anton Forsberg - Gives up three goals Forsberg stopped 27 of 30 shots in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Blue Jackets.

Impact Forsberg has started the last four games for the Kings, but the results haven't been encouraging -- he has three losses in that span (1-3-0) and has allowed at least three goals in each of those defeats. The Swede netminder has made 13 starts this season, going 5-5-3 with a 2.73 GAA and a .901 save percentage. He should remain as the Kings' No. 1 netminder as long as Darcy Kuemper (upper body) remains on injured reserve.

Mason Marchment - Scores two PP goals Marchment scored two power-play goals in Monday's 3-1 win over the Kings.

Impact Marchment came through every time the Blue Jackets needed him, and the left winger is enjoying an excellent start to his Columbus tenure with three goals in his first two games with the team. Expect Marchment to continue in a top-six role with Columbus, giving him plenty of opportunities to keep producing even if he's bound to regress in his scoring ways sooner rather than later.

Jet Greaves - Excellent vs. Kings Greaves stopped 23 of 24 shots in Monday's 3-1 win over the Kings.

Impact Greaves was beaten by Andrei Kuzmenko in the second period, but that would be the only goal he'd end up allowing in a dominant outing. This was a huge bounce-back performance for the 24-year-old netminder, who was coming off three straight outings with a save percentage below the .890 mark. On the season, Greaves owns a 9-9-5 record through 23 starts, posting a 2.69 GAA and a .906 save percentage.
