Joel Edmundson - NHL News & Rumors

Scores in playoff exit Edmundson scored a goal in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Avalanche in Game 4 of the Western Conference first round.

Impact Edmundson found the back of the net in the second period with a wrister, but that would be all the offense the Kings would muster throughout the game. It was also Edmundson's lone point of a playoff run that ended with Sunday's loss. He also had 23 points (two goals, 21 assists) in 82 regular-season contests, so he was far from a very reliabble fantasy performer, although he had far more upside in leagues that reward physicality with 97 hits and 111 blocked shots as well.

Snaps slump with helper Edmundson recorded an assist, four blocked shots and three hits in Thursday's 8-1 loss to the Oilers.

Impact The assist ended a 15-game slump for Edmundson. The defenseman was managing an upper-body issue in late January, though the rest during the Olympic break likely helped him recover from that concern. He's at 17 points, 74 shots on net, 68 hits, 73 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 58 outings this season, giving him a chance to reach the 20-point mark for the second campaign in a row and just the third time in his career. His 15 assists this year are a career high.

Poised to play Edmundson (upper body) is expected to play against Detroit on Tuesday, according to Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

Impact Edmundson logged just 14:51 of ice time in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over St. Louis, but it seems he won't miss additional playing time due to the injury. He has accounted for two goals, 14 assists, 67 shots on net, 53 blocked shots and 59 hits across 50 appearances this season.

Game-time decision Edmundson (upper body) will be a game-time decision against Detroit on Tuesday, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.

Impact Edmundson participated in Tuesday's optional morning skate after leaving Monday's practice early. He sustained the injury in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over St. Louis. He has produced two goals, 14 assists, 67 shots on net, 53 blocked shots and 59 hits across 50 appearances this season. If Edmundson can't play, Jacob Moverare will probably suit up against the Red Wings on Tuesday.

Managing upper-body issue Edmundson is considered day-to-day due to an upper-body injury, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports Monday.

Impact Edmundson hasn't yet missed a game this season, but he didn't practice with the Kings ahead of Monday's scheduled matchup against the Blue Jackets that was postponed due to severe winter weather in the Columbus area. Whether he'll be available for Tuesday's game in Detroit remains to be seen, but Kenny Connors will be recalled from AHL Ontario since Edmundson and Alex Turcotte are both considered day-to-day due to upper-body injuries.

Sends pair of assists Edmundson logged two assists, two shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-3 rating in Wednesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Sharks.

Impact Edmundson had a hand in third-period goals by Kevin Fiala and Alex Laferriere. The 32-year-old Edmundson has three helpers over his last five outings. For the season, the veteran defenseman is at 16 points, 59 shots on net, 51 hits, 42 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating over 42 appearances. He's on pace for a career year and could have some appeal in deep fantasy formats thanks to his steady physical play.

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.

Lights lamp in shootout loss Edmundson scored a goal on four shots and added two hits in Friday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Ducks.

Impact Edmundson has three points over his last two games. The 32-year-old has chipped in a surprisingly decent level of offense while seeing top-four minutes this season. He's up to two goals, 11 points, 36 shots on net, 29 hits, 28 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through 24 appearances. 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.

Impact Edmundson ended his five-game point drought with the pair of helpers, one of which came on Brandt Clarke's power-play tally. This was Edmundson's third multi-point effort of the season. 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.

Impact The veteran blueliner and former Hab got the Kings on the board just 1:17 into the second period by blasting a one-timer from the point past Sam Montembeault. Edmundson has never produced more than 20 points in an NHL campaign, a mark he reached in 73 regular-season games for Los Angeles last season, but he's off to a flying start to 2025-26 by his standards with eight points in 17 contests, including seven points in the last nine games.

Offers pair of helpers Edmundson logged two assists and two PIM in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Sharks.

Impact Edmundson has picked up the pace with four helpers over his last three games. The 32-year-old defenseman won't be able to sustain that level of offense for long, but it has been enough for him to see his ice time bounce back recently. He's at five assists, 10 shots on net, 14 hits, nine blocked shots, eight PIM and a plus-6 rating through 11 appearances in a bottom-four role as a shutdown defender.

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.
