Impact Spence's goal late in the second period got the Kings within two, but they didn't pull even. The tally was his first point over five playoff contests, to go with just two shots on net, three hits, five blocked shots and a minus-1 rating. The 24-year-old Spence will be in a contract year in 2025-26, and he could challenge the 30-point mark after putting up 28 points in 79 regular-season games in 2024-25.

He's projected to begin the playoffs in the lineup, but if he struggles, he could be bumped for Kyle Burroughs or Jacob Moverare.

Manages helper Tuesday Spence logged an assist, two shots on goal, three hits and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Kraken.

Tacks on goal in win Spence scored a goal on two shots and blocked two shots in Thursday's 6-1 win over the Ducks.

Impact Spence has contributed six points and a plus-9 rating over his last 15 outings.

Spence has career highs in goals (four), points (26), blocked shots (75), hits (72) and plus-minus rating (plus-20) through 75 appearances.

Puts up assist Sunday Spence logged an assist, three hits and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Sharks.

Impact Spence has four helpers over his last 11 contests. The 24-year-old defenseman continues to play regularly in a bottom-four role, but he's currently out of the mix for power-play time, which will limit his offense. Overall, he's matched his career-high point total from last season (24) in the same number of games (71). He's added 77 shots on net, 70 hits, 70 blocked shots and a plus-18 rating in 2024-25, showing a little more physicality thanks to a slightly larger role.

Grabs helper in Sunday's win Spence logged an assist in Sunday's 7-2 win over the Bruins.

Impact Spence has three assists over his last seven outings, and he's posted a plus-5 rating in that span. The 24-year-old has been limited to bottom-four minutes in March, which puts some risk into his profile for fantasy, especially if he has some shifts skipped in closer games. For the season, Spence has been solid with 23 points, 73 shots on net, 64 hits, 68 blocked shots and a plus-16 rating over 67 appearances. He's one point shy of matching his total from 71 contests in 2023-24.

Lends assist Tuesday Spence recorded an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Islanders.

Impact Spence snapped a five-game point drought with the helper. He was scratched versus the Blues on March 5, and his ice time has been cut significantly since he got back into the lineup as the Kings lean on their veteran defensemen to shoulder the heaviest loads. The 24-year-old Spence has had a fine season with 21 points, 65 shots on net, 67 blocked shots, 62 hits and a plus-13 rating over 61 appearances, but he's not a safe fantasy option until his ice time gets back up to a more acceptable level.

Defenseman Jordan Spence | 02.26 LA Kings Fall to Vancouver Canucks in Overtime

FEBRUARY 27, 2025 • YOUTUBE

Pockets helper in overtime loss Spence notched an assist in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Canucks.

Impact Spence has come out of the 4 Nations Face-Off break on a roll, earning a helper in three straight contests. That bodes well for him sticking in the lineup even if the Kings eventually go back to the traditional six-defensemen structure instead of the seven-defensemen system they've used heavily this season. Spence is up to 20 points, 58 shots on net, 56 hits, 62 blocked shots and a plus-15 rating over 55 appearances this season. He'll see a larger role as long as Drew Doughty (lower body) is out, but Doughty's injury is not believed to be a long-term issue.

Hands out assist Saturday Spence notched an assist and two blocked shots in Saturday's 5-3 win over Utah.

Impact Spence snapped a six-game point drought with the helper. The 23-year-old saw 12:19 of ice time -- it's his second consecutive game in a reduced role, and that may not change if the Kings continue to dress seven defensemen, as Brandt Clarke will push for more than the 5:15 he saw in Saturday's contest. Spence has had flashes of success in his second full NHL campaign, racking up 18 points, 57 shots on net, 61 blocked shots, 54 hits and a plus-15 rating over 53 appearances despite mainly featuring in a bottom-four role.

Draws helper in win Spence logged an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Panthers.

Impact Spence has a goal and two assists over his last three games. The 23-year-old defenseman is in a top-four role currently, and it's a good time for him to assert himself ahead of Brandt Clarke and Jacob Moverare -- Drew Doughty (ankle) is nearing his season debut after practicing in a regular jersey Wednesday. Overall, Spence has 16 points, 48 shots on net, 51 blocked shots, 43 hits and a plus-11 rating through 44 outings. Clarke has added a bit more offense from the back end, but Spence has arguably played better overall.

Impact Spence's tally late in the first period tied the game at 2-2, but that's where the Kings' offense stalled out. He ended a five-game point drought with the goal, which was his first tally since Dec. 12 versus the Devils. The 23-year-old blueliner continues to see steady playing time in a third-pairing role, though his minutes are sometimes limited due to the Kings' seven-defensemen formation. He's produced three goals, 14 points, 46 shots on net, 42 hits, 49 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating over 42 appearances this season.

Contributes pair of assists Spence logged two assists and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 4-3 overtime win over the Oilers.

Impact Spence has five assists over his last five contests. The 23-year-old's offense has come back around after a sluggish November, and his spot on the second power-play unit adds a little more fantasy value. Overall, Spence has 12 points, 35 shots on net, 42 blocked shots, 29 hits and a plus-8 rating over 34 appearances. It's a nearly identical scoring pace to what he showed in 2023-24 (24 points in 71 regular-season outings).

Provides two helpers Spence notched two assists, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Flyers.

Impact Spence is rolling on offense with a goal and five assists over his last eight outings. Thursday marked his first multi-point effort of the season. The 23-year-old blueliner is up to two goals, eight helpers, 34 shots on net, 39 blocked shots, 29 hits, 14 PIM and a plus-7 rating over 31 contests. He does a little of everything and should be rostered in deep fantasy formats.

Opens scoring in loss Spence scored a goal and blocked two shots in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Devils.

Impact Spence has three points over his last five games. The 23-year-old defenseman opened the scoring at 16:41 of the second period, but that was the Kings' lone goal Thursday. Spence's ice time has dipped a bit with the Kings' usage of seven defensemen in recent games, but it appears he's found a way to do more with less. The blueliner has two goals, seven points, 32 shots on net, 33 blocked shots, 29 hits and a plus-4 rating over 28 appearances.

Helps out on power play Spence logged a power-play assist and two PIM in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Wild.

Impact Spence has two assists over his last three games, but that follows a stretch of no points across 16 contests. The 23-year-old has started to see more regular power-play time again on the second unit over the last couple of weeks. He's now at six points (two on the power play), 29 shots on net, 31 blocked shots, 29 hits, 10 PIM and a plus-4 rating through 26 outings overall. Spence will likely continue to see bottom-four usage overall, and with the Kings leaning on seven-defensemen lineups lately, he could be in line for an even smaller role than usual.

DECEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Snaps slump with helper Spence logged an assist in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Senators.

Impact Spence put an end to his 16-game point drought with a helper on Alex Laferriere's goal in the first period. The 23-year-old Spence is now at five points, 28 shots on net, 25 hits, 30 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 24 contests. Considering he stayed in the lineup for the entirety of his slump, it looks like Spence is a regular on the Kings' blue line now. That said, he'll need to score consistently to offer more than bottom-tier fantasy value.

DECEMBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sticking in lineup amid slump Spence was held off the scoresheet for the 15th game in a row in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Jets.

Impact Spence has 22 shots on net, 18 blocked shots and 16 hits over that span. There's good news to be had -- he's stayed in the lineup regularly and has maintained a power-play role on the second unit, but he was battling with Brandt Clarke for time on the first unit in October. For now, the Kings are rolling with a five-forward configuration on the first unit. Spence had four points over his first seven outings of the season, so there's room for optimism that he can turn things around.
