Jacob Moverare - NHL News & Rumors

Stuck in press box again Moverare was scratched for the 13th straight game in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Lightning.

Impact Moverare failed to log a point in seven games between Nov. 17 and Dec. 2 during Drew Doughty's absence with a lower-body injury. Since Doughty returned, Moverare has been stuck in the press box, and it'll likely take another injury on the blue line for the 27-year-old to draw back in. He has no points, four shots on net, five blocked shots, three hits and a minus-2 rating over eight outings this season.

Has chance to play Moverare posted two hits, two blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 10:19 of ice time in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Capitals.

Impact This was Moverare's second appearance of the season. The Kings have been mostly set on defense so far, leaving the 27-year-old with little opportunity to check in. That will change during Drew Doughty's (lower body) absence, which has the veteran defenseman week-to-week. Still, Moverare will be heavily sheltered in a third-pairing role, so don't expect much offense from him.

Gathers helper Tuesday Moverare notched an assist, two shots on goal, three hits and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Kraken.

Impact Moverare ended a five-game point drought. The 26-year-old has played regularly late in the season, though that's been because Joel Edmundson (upper body) has been unavailable. If the Kings are at full health to begin the postseason, Moverare is likely to be out of the lineup unless the team goes back to deploying seven blueliners regularly. He's contributed eight points, 30 shots on net, 31 hits, 60 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 49 appearances.

Checks in, earns assist Moverare notched an assist, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Sharks.

Impact The Kings were missing three regulars at forward and opted to dress Moverare as a seventh defenseman rather than insert forward Akil Thomas. This ended a 12-game stretch without an appearance for Moverare, who was limited to one assist in 20 contests prior to his stint in the press box. The 26-year-old defenseman has seven points, 25 shots on net, 27 hits, 51 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 43 outings in 2024-25.

No clear path to playing time Moverare was scratched for the 12th game in a row in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Maple Leafs.

Impact Moverare has no path to playing time currently, as long as the Kings' defense stays healthy. He may be above Kyle Burroughs in the pecking order should an injury arise, especially on the left side of the defense. However, Mikey Anderson, Vladislav Gavrikov and Joel Edmundson are locked in as the Kings' preferred left-shot blueliners. That leaves Moverare stuck at six points, 25 shots on net, 25 hits and 50 blocked shots through 42 appearances this season.

Gets on scoresheet Wednesday Moverare notched an assist in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Canucks.

Impact Moverare ended a 15-game slump when he helped out on a Warren Foegele tally in the third period. Despite the lack of offense, Moverare has been able to hold onto a third-pairing role. Drew Doughty (lower body) missed Wednesday's game, but Moverare's place in the lineup has yet to be threatened even when the Kings are fully healthy. For the season, the 26-year-old is up to six points, 25 shots on net, 23 hits, 46 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating across 38 appearances.

Sticking in lineup Moverare continues to play a third-pairing role despite being held off the scoresheet for the 15th straight game Monday in a 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.

Impact During his slump, the Kings have gotten to full strength on the blue line after Drew Doughty (ankle) and Mikey Anderson (finger) got healthy. The Kings have been able to keep Moverare in the lineup by using seven defensemen, though that comes with fellow left-shot Vladislav Gavrikov playing his off side. Moverare has five points, 25 shots on net, 46 blocked shots, 23 hits and a plus-4 rating over 37 appearances. Should the Kings opt to go back to six blueliners, he would be at risk of losing time, though Brandt Clarke and Jordan Spence could also be scratched in that scenario.

Cashes in on turnover Moverare scored a goal and blocked three shots in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Calgary.

Impact Calgary got a little scrambled after a couple of failed clearing attempts. The second of those mistakes ended up on Moverare's stick, and he made no mistake on his lone shot of the game, putting the Kings ahead 1-0 at 6:19 of the first period. The defenseman has four points over his last five contests, giving him five points, 17 shots on net, 21 hits, 28 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 22 outings this season. He's in no immediate danger of losing his place in the lineup, but his recent scoring success is unlikely to last.

Picks up helper Friday Moverare notched an assist, three hits and two blocked shots in Friday's 2-1 overtime win over the Jets.

Impact Moverare has logged a helper in three of his last four games. He also saw 19:11 of ice time Friday, far and away the most he's logged in any one contest this season. He's at four helpers, 16 shots on net, 21 hits, 25 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 21 appearances. Moverare's place in the lineup is likely to be safe until both of Joel Edmundson (undisclosed) and Drew Doughty (ankle) are cleared to play.

Assists in consecutive contests Moverare notched an assist and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Devils.

Impact Moverare made the most of limited action (7:52 of ice time) by earning the secondary helper on Andre Lee's first NHL tally. This was Moverare's second straight game with a helper, and he has three assists over his last six outings. The 26-year-old blueliner has added 15 shots on net, 23 blocked shots, 18 hits and a plus-4 rating over 19 NHL contests this season, though his limited role on the third pairing gives him low fantasy value.

Draws helper Sunday Moverare posted an assist and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Flyers.

Impact Moverare has two helpers over his last five contests. That's been enough for him to hold onto a third-pairing role over Andreas Englund, but Moverare could eventually lose his place in the lineup if the Kings go back to the traditional six-defensemen formation rather than the seven-defensemen approach they've taken for the better part of a month. The 26-year-old has two helpers, 13 shots on net, 18 hits, 23 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 18 appearances this season.

Bags apple in win Moverare notched an assist, two PIM and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Flyers.

Impact The helper was Moverare's first point of the campaign. The 26-year-old has been a regular in the lineup over the last month, and it helps that the Kings are using seven defensemen. That said, he's playing in a third-pairing role, averaging 12:20 of ice time per game. He's added 10 shots on net, 16 hits, 20 blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-1 rating through 14 appearances.

DECEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back with big club Moverare was recalled from AHL Ontario on Tuesday.

Impact Moverare hasn't earned a point in seven NHL outings this season while posting four shots on goal, 10 hits and 11 blocked shots. If he isn't returned to the minors, the 26-year-old blueliner will probably play against Dallas on Wednesday.

DECEMBER 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sent down by Los Angeles Moverare was assigned to AHL Ontario on Monday.

Impact Moverare has spent the last few weeks in the NHL, and he's logged 11 blocked shots and 10 hits while averaging 12:26 of ice time over seven appearances with the Kings. He was also sent down in mid-November in a paper transaction, but it's unclear whether he'll rejoin the NHL club in the coming days.

DECEMBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Called back up Moverare was recalled from AHL Ontario on Monday.

Impact Moverare was loaned to the AHL club Sunday, but he'll rejoin Los Angeles a day later. In his season debut for the NHL club Saturday, the 26-year-old recorded four blocked shots, two hits and a plus-1 rating in 14:50 of ice time in a 4-1 win over Detroit.

NOVEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sent down Sunday Moverare was loaned to AHL Ontario on Sunday.

Impact Moverare will link back up with the Reign -- the Swedish defenseman has produced two assists across 11 contests with the club in 2024-25. The 26-year-old could be back with Los Angeles soon if this move was just a paper transaction.

NOVEMBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled by Los Angeles Moverare was recalled from AHL Ontario on Friday.

Impact Moverare was sent to the AHL at the beginning of October, but he'll rejoin the NHL club after the Kings deal with multiple injuries. Moverare made 24 appearances for Los Angeles last year, logging a goal, 23 blocked shots and 12 hits while averaging 10:27 of ice time.

NOVEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Waived Tuesday Moverare was put on waivers Tuesday for the purpose of assignment to AHL Ontario.

Impact Moverare generated two goals and 16 assists in 34 regular-season contests for AHL Ontario in 2023-24. He also had one goal and 23 blocked shots in 24 NHL outings with the Kings during the 2023-24 regular season. If Moverare is not claimed by another team, he may see more playing time with LA in the upcoming campaign.
