Jaret Anderson-Dolan - Sent down FridayAnderson-Dolan was reassigned to AHL Ontario on Friday.
ImpactAnderson-Dolan had just 6:51 of ice time in his lone NHL appearance this season. He collected two hits and a shot on goal Saturday against Carolina. He may be recalled prior to Saturday's game against the Bruins.

Marc-Andre Fleury - Crashes back to EarthFleury stopped 20 of 25 shots in Thursday's 7-3 loss to the Kings.
ImpactLos Angeles' final two goals were scored into an empty net. After an emotional win in Montreal on Tuesday, Fleury couldn't maintain his momentum and got beat four times in the first period alone. Filip Gustavsson figures to be back between the pipes for Saturday's home game against the Blue Jackets.

Pierre-Luc Dubois - Two quick tallies in winDubois scored two goals just 12 seconds apart, the second being the game-winner, in Thursday's 7-3 victory over the Wild.
ImpactWith the score already tied 2-2, Dubios completed a frenetic first period by striking twice inside the final minute -- the first coming on a near breakaway on which he got just enough of the puck to squeeze it past Marc-Andre Fleury, and the second coming when Dubois went top shelf from the slot after a Wild giveaway. Dubois has three goals in four games for his only points to begin his Kings tenure, and if he's truly comfortable on the west coast, the 2016 third overall pick could soar past the 25-goal, 60-point range he reached in each of his two full campaigns with the Jets with LA this year.

Cam Talbot - Plenty of help against former clubTalbot turned aside 29 shots in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Wild.
ImpactThe veteran netminder fell behind early but three straight Kings goals over the final five minutes of the first period put Talbot ahead for good. He's 2-1-0 to begin his Los Angeles tenure with a .916 save percentage, and while Talbot hasn't appeared in more than 49 games in a season since 2017-18, he looks set to continue receiving the bulk of the starts in the crease ahead of Pheonix Copley. That could, however, change if Talbot starts showing signs of faltering.
