JOEL EDMUNDSON NEWS

Nets goal in win Edmundson scored a goal, added four PIM and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Golden Knights.

Impact Edmundson stretched the Kings' lead to 6-1 in the third period. The defenseman has tallied three times over the last three games, matching his highest total in goals in the last four years. He's looked comfortable in a top-four role so far, earning five points, 14 shots on net, 15 hits, 16 blocked shots, eight PIM and a plus-2 rating. Edmundson has reached the 20-point mark just once in his first nine NHL campaigns, so his scoring pace is likely to slow down, though he should still offer plenty of production in the physical categories.

First goals of season Edmundson scored twice Saturday in a 3-2 victory over Utah. He also had two hits, three blocks and three shots.

Impact They were his first of the season, and Edmundson looked every part the sniper on the first goal when he wired a one-timer from below the left circle as he slid on one knee. His second was a slapper from the point through traffic early in the third that stood as the winner. Edmundson doesn't have a reputation as a scorer - his career mark is seven goals and 20 points, set in 2019-20 with the Canes. But the Kings have had to redistribute some responsibility on the blue line with Drew Doughty (ankle) out long term. Count on triple-digit hits and blocks from Edmundson and take any points as a bonus.

Earns assist Tuesday Edmundson notched an assist, three shots on goal, four hits, two PIM and a minus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-1 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Edmundson picked up his first point in two games after he missed two contests to attend to a family matter. The 31-year-old defenseman has two helpers, nine shots on net, nine hits, 10 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over five appearances this season, but his defensive performance wasn't great Tuesday. He's unlikely to score enough to help in fantasy.

Activated from non-roster list Edmundson (personal) was lifted from the injured non-roster list Saturday.

Impact Edmundson will be available for Sunday's game against Anaheim after missing the past two contests for family reasons. He has one assist, three hits and eight blocked shots in three appearances this season.

On non-roster injured reserve Edmundson (personal) was moved to non-roster injured reserve by LA on Wednesday.

Impact Edmundson last played Monday, so the earliest he can return to the lineup would be Tuesday against Vegas. He has an assist, three hits and eight blocks in three games this season. With Edmundson unavailable, Andreas Englund might see some action after being a healthy scratch in each of the Kings' first three contests.

Away from team Tuesday Edmundson (personal) did not practice Tuesday and is currently away from the team, according to Dennis Bernstein of The Fourth Period.

Impact It's unclear if Edmundson will miss any action, but if he does, Andreas Englund will most likely will draw into the lineup. Edmundson has chipped in an assist, three hits, eight blocks and a plus-1 rating through three outings.

Contributes assist in season opener Edmundson logged an assist, two blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Sabres.

Impact Edmundson was signed to a three-year in July, making him a virtual lock for the third pairing. The veteran defenseman isn't known to put up significant scoring numbers, nor has he been able to play a high number of games. Last season, he was limited to six points, 80 hits and 65 blocked shots over 53 games between the Capitals and the Maple Leafs. He saw 20:38 of ice time in his Kings debut, and he could be in line for more minutes while Drew Doughty (ankle) is out, but Edmundson offers minimal fantasy upside.

Posts rare helper in loss Edmundson recorded an assist in Game 3 against the Bruins on Wednesday, albeit in a 4-2 home loss.

Impact Edmundson rushed toward the attacking zone after John Tavares sent a crisp pass his way from center ice, and it led to a Matthew Knies goal courtesy of a Mitch Marner helper. Still, since the Leafs are down 2-1 in the conference quarterfinals and averaging just two goals per contest, this team needs to pick up the pace offensively. Edmundson isn't expected to do much in that area as a third-pairing defenseman without a role on the power play.

Out Wednesday Edmundson (rest) will miss Wednesday's tilt versus Tampa Bay, per Luke Fox of Sportsnet.

Impact Edmundson will finish the regular season with a goal and six points in 53 contests. He missed nine of 10 outings from March 26-April 13 because of injury, so it makes sense to give Edmundson some more time off before what's sure the be a grueling playoff series against Boston.

Playing Tuesday Edmundson (undisclosed) is set to play Tuesday versus the Panthers, David Alter of The Hockey News reports.

Impact Edmundson has been banged up down the stretch, but he'll draw in for Tuesday's game. The Maple Leafs have nine available defensemen currently, so it's still possible the veteran is rested for Wednesday's game versus the Lightning.

Impact Edmundson has played in just one of Toronto's last 10 outings due to various injury concerns but seems to be nearing a return to action. Considering the defenseman has scored a goal in 37 consecutive contests and added just four helpers over that stretch, few fantasy players should be banking on Edmundson producing offensively.
