Kenny Connors - Gets another callup Connors has been recalled from AHL Ontario by the Kings, the team announced Sunday.

Impact Connors has yet to make his NHL debut, serving as depth in a call-up earlier this season right before the Olympic break. The 22-year-old has 29 points (nine goals, 20 assists) in 49 games played with AHL Ontario. Barring another injury, he will likely just serve as insurance once again while the Kings attempt to get a bit healthier.

Angus Booth - Returned to AHL affiliate Booth was loaned to AHL Ontario on Sunday.

Impact Booth was a healthy scratch in Saturday's 2-0 win over Calgary. He has produced one goal and 10 points in 42 minor-league appearances this season. Booth will probably be in the lineup for Sunday's matchup against AHL Bakersfield.

Alex Laferriere - Pots goal Saturday Laferriere scored a goal in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Flames.

Impact Laferriere broke the deadlock for the Kings with a wrister midway through the second period. That goal not only set the tone for the Kings in a closed-knit game, but it also snapped Laferriere's six-game point drought. The 24-year-old, playing in his third season in the NHL, has racked up 27 points (14 goals, 13 assists) in 59 games in 2025-26. He's 15 points shy of matching his career-best mark of 42 points, established in 2024-25, with 23 games left in the regular season.

Adrian Kempe - Scores vs. Calgary Kempe scored a goal, took four shots and recorded two hits in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Flames.

Impact Kempe closed out the scoring for the Kings with an empty-netter with 38 seconds left in the contest when the Flames were pushing hard for an equalizer. Kempe has been playing very well lately and has cracked the scoresheet in all but two of his last 12 outings, tallying 13 points (seven goals, six assists) over that stretch.

Anton Forsberg - Posts 29-save shutout Forsberg posted a 29-save shutout in Saturday's 2-0 win over the Flames.

Impact Forsberg earned a win for the first time since Jan. 27, when he stopped 27 of 28 shots in a 3-1 victory over the Red Wings, and this was a much-needed outcome for the 33-year-old. Forsberg allowed four goals on 22 shots in the 8-1 loss to the Oilers the last time out and had suffered three defeats (one in overtime) in his previous three February appearances. He heads into March owning a 2.65 GAA and a .908 save percentage since the beginning of January, so his performances have been better than what the eye test indicates in that span.

Impact Forsberg is 0-2-1 with a 4.54 GAA and an .843 save percentage across his past four appearances with the Kings.

The Flames are a subpar 24-27-6 this campaign, but they've gone 3-1-0 over their past four games while outscoring opponents 13-10.
