Joel Armia - NHL News & Rumors

Remains out Armia (upper body) won't play Wednesday versus the Golden Knights, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Impact Armia is set to miss his fifth straight game. It's unclear if he'll be able to suit up in the weekend home-and-home versus the Ducks. With multiple other absences up front, the Kings are once again dressing seven defensemen to fill out their lineup.

Out again Monday Armia (upper body) will not be available versus the Stars on Monday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Impact Armia will be out of action for his fourth consecutive outing due to his lingering upper-body issue. Prior to getting hurt, the veteran forward was struggling to produce offensively, notching just one point in his last eight contests. Taylor Ward figures to continue serving in a fourth-line role while Armia is unavailable.

Still sidelined Friday Armia (upper body) is expected to remain out of the lineup for Friday's clash with Winnipeg, per NHL.com.

Impact Armia will be unavailable for his second straight game due to his lingering upper-body injury. While the team hasn't provided a concrete update on the 32-year-old winger, the fact that it is heading into a back-to-back means Armia is unlikely to feature versus the Oilers on Saturday either.

Won't play Wednesday Armia (upper body) will not be in the lineup versus the Sharks on Wednesday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

Impact Armia has been struggling offensively of late, generating one point in his last eight outings. Despite the recent slump, the veteran winger could still top the 30-point mark for the first time since 2019-20 when he was with the Habs, assuming his upper-body injury doesn't keep him sidelined too long.

Deemed day-to-day Armia (upper body) is day-to-day, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports Tuesday.

Impact Armia left Monday's 4-2 win over Minnesota midway through the second period and didn't return. An update on his status should come before Wednesday's matchup against San Jose. Armia has produced nine goals, 16 points, 51 shots on net, 24 blocked shots and 38 hits across 41 appearances this season.

Injured against Minnesota Armia suffered an upper-body injury Monday against the Wild and will not return to the game.

Impact Armia went to locker room in the second period after "some contact" from Quinn Hughes, per Russell Morgan of Hockey Royalty. Anze Kopitar (lower body) was also injured Monday, so the Kings are currently down to 10 forwards. Armia can be considered day-to-day until his status is updated ahead of Wednesday's matchup against San Jose.

Scores shortie in loss Armia scored a shorthanded goal and added two hits in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Armia's tally kept the Kings close in the third period, but the Avalanche scored two goals late to pull away. The 32-year-old winger has earned four goals, one assist and 16 shots on net over his last 10 contests while filling a bottom-six role. He's up to nine goals, 16 points (five shorthanded, one on the power play), 47 shots, 33 hits, 22 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a plus-6 rating through 38 appearances. His offense isn't great, but Armia can provide category coverage for fantasy managers in deep formats.

Nets power-play goal Armia scored a power-play goal on two shots and added four PIM in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Panthers.

Impact Armia scored with a man advantage for the first time since the 2021-22 campaign -- he had been limited to four power-play assists across the last three years. The Kings are giving him a look on the second unit for now, but he's more of a defensive winger. On the year, he's at eight goals, seven helpers, 43 shots on net, 27 hits, 20 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a plus-5 rating through 33 appearances.

Pair of goals Monday Armia scored two goals and placed four shots on net in Monday's 4-2 win over the Mammoth.

Impact Armia helped the Kings double their lead with a goal midway through the first period before he put the game to bed with an empty-net score in the final two minutes. The 32-year-old right winger is up to seven goals, 13 points, 35 shots on net and 25 hits through 29 games this season. He's quietly on pace to post a new career high in points if he can surpass the 30 points he had in 58 regular-season games with Montreal during the 2018-19 season. His minutes have also trended upward over the last few contests with his move up to the Kings' second line. While Armia won't provide immense fantasy value in standard leagues throughout the course of the season, he may be worth a look as a streaming option with his revamped role.

Back-to-back shorthanded goals Armia scored a shorthanded goal on two shots in Friday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Bruins.

Impact Armia's last two goals have been shorties, and they've come over the last two games. The winger is up to five tallies, three of which have come shorthanded, and 10 points through 22 appearances. He's added 27 shots on net, 21 hits, 12 PIM and a plus-3 rating. Armia's ability to play in tough defensive situations is good to keep him in the lineup, but fantasy managers can likely find better options in most formats.

Nets shortie in shootout loss Armia scored a shorthanded goal on four shots, added two PIM and logged two hits in Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Sharks.

Impact Armia has tallied twice over the last five games. The veteran winger is up to four goals on the season, and two have been shorthanded tallies. The 32-year-old is at nine points, 25 shots on net, 21 hits, 12 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 21 appearances. He's filled a variety of roles, but Armia's playing style is often best suited for bottom-six usage.

Lights lamp Tuesday Armia scored a goal and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Canadiens.

Impact The Kings have listed Armia on the top line in recent games. He has two points over four contests in that span, but he's still averaged just 12:40 of ice time in those games, so he hasn't really gained additional usage. The winger has been steady as a depth forward this year with eight points, 19 shots on net, 15 hits, 10 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 17 outings.
