Cody Ceci - Still slumping after break Ceci's point drought is up to 15 games after he was held scoreless in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Ceci last got on the scoresheet with a helper Jan. 7 versus the Sharks. The 32-year-old blueliner is still seeing steady playing time in a bottom-four role, though it's unclear if that's an area the Kings will be looking to upgrade ahead of the March 6 trade deadline. Ceci has just eight points with 43 shots on net, 75 blocked shots, 23 hits and a minus-4 rating over 57 appearances in the first season of a four-year contract.

Andrei Kuzmenko - Adds pair of helpers Kuzmenko notched two assists in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Kuzmenko's last outing against Vegas saw him leave with an upper-body injury right before the Olympic break. He got the rest he needed and made an impact in this rematch, giving him four points over his last three games. The 30-year-old winger is at 13 goals, 12 assists, 69 shots on net and a minus-4 rating through 52 appearances.

Artemi Panarin - Two assists in team debut Panarin notched two assists, three shots on goal and two PIM in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Panarin set up Quinton Byfield on the power play in the first period and also helped out on an Adrian Kempe tally in the second. This was Panarin's debut for the Kings, which came after a Feb. 4 trade and subsequent two-year contract extension. The Kings don't score a lot, but they're at least in the middle of a playoff race, so that could give Panarin a little extra motivation. He's earned 59 points (18 on the power play), 161 shots on net and a minus-16 rating over 53 appearances this season when accounting for his time with the Rangers.

Brandt Clarke - Notches two points in loss Clarke scored a goal, added a power-play assist, blocked three shots and went minus-2 in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Clarke picked up his first multi-point effort since Jan. 10 versus the Oilers, and he also got his first goal since a Jan. 14 matchup against the Golden Knights. The 23-year-old defenseman has four points over his last six games, but he also carries a minus-8 rating in that span, in which the Kings have one just once. Clarke is up to a total of seven goals 29 points, 113 shots on net, 110 blocked shots, 38 PIM and a plus-6 rating over 57 appearances in a top-four role.

Adrian Kempe - Earns two points in loss Kempe scored a goal on four shots, added an assist and logged three hits in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Kempe has six goals and six assists over his last 10 games. The 29-year-old could get a boost if he ends up regularly playing alongside Artemi Panarin at even strength -- the two flanked Alex Laferriere in this contest. Kempe is up to 21 goals, 48 points, 160 shots on net, 104 hits, 33 blocked shots, 54 PIM and a plus-8 rating over 57 appearances this season. He's at risk of missing the 70-point mark for the first time in three years, but Kempe has the talent to go on a heater for the rest of the campaign.

6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Quinton Byfield - Nets two goals in loss Byfield scored twice on four shots and added two hits in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact Byfield had a power-play goal in the first period and added an even-strength tally in the third. The 23-year-old four goals over his last five games, so he may be setting himself up for a strong end to the regular season. He's at 13 goals, 32 points, 119 shots on net, 42 hits, 31 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating across 56 appearances so far.

6 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Anton Forsberg - Unravels in third period Forsberg stopped 19 of 24 shots in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Golden Knights. The sixth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Forsberg allowed four of those goals in a span of 7:52 during the third period. The 33-year-old has given up 11 goals on 80 shots over his last three outings, going 0-2-1 in that span. For the season, he's at a 9-8-5 record with a 2.69 GAA and a .902 save percentage over 23 appearances. The Kings will likely turn to Darcy Kuemper for Thursday's home game versus the Oilers, but both goalies will need to be sharp as the Kings battle for a playoff spot down the stretch.

Impact Kuzmenko was hurt in the last game before the Olympic break, but the injury wasn't serious enough to cost him more time. He'll play on the third line with Alex Turcotte and Warren Foegele.

Alex Turcotte - Playing Wednesday Turcotte (upper body) was taken off injured reserve and will feature in Wednesday's matchup with Vegas, per NHL.com.

Impact Turcotte returns to the lineup having missed just six games due to his upper-body injury. Despite recording 15 shots in his last eight appearances, the 24-year-old center has been unable to put one into the net. With Vegas missing several Olympic participants, Turcotte could have a decent chance of breaking out of his slump Wednesday.

FEBRUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Mikey Anderson - Good to go against Knights Anderson (upper body) has been activated off injured reserve and will be in the lineup versus Vegas on Wednesday, per NHL.com.

Impact Considering Anderson is currently stuck in a 26-game goal drought and has chipped in just two helpers over that stretch, his return to action is unlikely to have a significant fantasy impact. Still, having the defensively-minded blueliner back on the top pairing could free up Drew Doughty to jump in offensively.
