Rare power-play helper in loss Edmundson posted a power-play assist and a minus-2 rating in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche.

Impact Edmundson picked up his second power-play helper of the year by assisting on Corey Perry's tally in the second period. That goal came with three seconds left with the man advantage. Edmundson remains rarely involved on the power play, and he won't be a steady source of offense in any situation, though he's on a career-best pace with 14 points over 38 contests this season. He's added 53 shots on net, 48 hits, 39 blocked shots, 17 PIM and a plus-5 rating, so he has some appeal in deep fantasy formats this year.

He's well on his way to reaching the 20-point mark for the third time, and exceeding that threshold would give him a career year.

That's not a lot overall, but it's notable for the 32-year-old defenseman, who typically doesn't add much offense. He's up one goal, 10 points, 32 shots on net, 27 hits, 27 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 23 appearances this season.

Produces assist Edmundson registered an assist in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.

Impact Edmundson got on the scoresheet for the first time in 2025-26 by helping out on a Trevor Moore tally. The 32-year-old Edmundson has played in a bottom-four role so far, and the Kings' defense is off to a shaky start even with plenty of veterans in the lineup. He's produced 10 hits, five blocked shots, six PIM, five shots on net and a plus-2 rating over six appearances. Edmundson reached the 20-point mark for the second time in his career in 2024-25, but don't expect a repeat performance.

Slides assist in Game 3 loss Edmundson provided an assist, three blocked shots and two PIM in Friday's 7-4 loss to the Oilers in Game 3.

Impact Edmundson had been limited to one assist over his previous 10 outings, a span that also saw him miss five games due to an upper-body injury. The defenseman is filling a de facto top-four role as a veteran blueliner for the Kings this postseason. He had 20 points in 73 regular-season outings, matching his career high, so he shouldn't be expected to add much on offense in the playoffs.

Expected to return Thursday Edmundson (upper body) is slated to play Thursday against the Flames, according to Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

Impact Edmundson missed the Kings' previous five outings. The 31-year-old believes he could have returned sooner, but with an eye ahead of the playoffs, he took the extra time off to get ready for the first round. Edmundson has six goals, 20 points, 97 hits and 107 blocks in 72 outings. He'll likely serve in a top-four capacity in his return.
