Kings' Kyle Burroughs: Draws in, earns assist
Burroughs picked up an assist and three hits in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Stars.
Burroughs dressed as a seventh defenseman and saw just 4:50 of ice time over six shifts. He was able to make an impact in the limited time, setting up Joel Edmundson's game-tying goal in the second period. Burroughs hadn't played since Nov. 7, and he's unlikely to have a role when the Kings use a traditional six-blueliner arrangement. The 29-year-old is up to two helpers, three shots on net, 23 hits, five blocked shots, 20 PIM and a plus-3 rating through nine appearances.

Kings' Anze Kopitar: Nabs helper in win
Kopitar posted an assist in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Stars.
Kopitar has nine points over his last six contests, with four multi-point efforts in that span. The 37-year-old helped out on Joel Edmundson's equalizer in this game. Kopitar continues to play above a point-per-game pace -- he's collected eight goals, 22 helpers, 32 shots on net, 16 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating through 26 outings this season.

Kings' Joel Edmundson: Deposits game-tying goal
Edmundson scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Stars.
Edmundson has a pair of points over his last four contests. The 31-year-old defenseman's goal at 15:38 of the second period tied the game at 2-2. Edmundson has been unusually productive on offense with eight points (four goals, four assists) over 24 outings after producing just six points in 53 regular-season appearances in 2023-24. He's added 27 shots on net, 39 hits, 39 blocked shots, 14 PIM and a plus-7 rating, providing defensive stability on the Kings' second pairing.

Kings' Tanner Jeannot: Pair of points in win
Jeannot scored a goal, dished an assist and added three hits in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Stars.
Jeannot got on the Kings on the board in the second period and then set up a Warren Foegele goal in the third, which was the game-winner. This was Jeannot's first contribution on offense in seven games, and it was also his first multi-point effort of the season. The physical winger has five points, 19 shots on net, 71 hits, 42 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 23 outings.

Kings' Warren Foegele: One of each in win
Foegele scored a goal on four shots, dished an assist, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Stars.
Foegele's third-period tally was the game-winner, and he had previously set up Tanner Jeannot in the middle frame. This was Foegele's first goal since Nov. 9, and he had just two helpers over the nine contests in between tallies. He's up to seven goals, 13 points, 62 shots on net, 24 hits and a plus-9 rating over 26 appearances in a middle-six role.

Kings' David Rittich: Backstops comeback win
Rittich stopped 26 of 28 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Stars.
The Stars scored twice in the first period, but Rittich shut the door after that, and the Kings got enough depth offense for a comeback win. This was his fifth win in his last nine outings (eight starts). Darcy Kuemper (undisclosed) returned from injured reserve in the backup role Wednesday, but Rittich has played well enough to hold onto a decent share of playing time. He's now 10-6-0 with a 2.45 GAA and an .891 save percentage over 17 appearances this season. The Kings' next game is Saturday at home versus the Wild.

Kings' Erik Portillo: Sent to minors
Portillo was assigned to AHL Ontario on Wednesday.
Portillo made his NHL debut Friday against the Ducks and turned aside 28 of 29 shots in the 1-0 win. Despite his solid performance against Anaheim, he'll head back to the minors since Darcy Kuemper (undisclosed) was activated from injured reserve Wednesday.

Kings' Darcy Kuemper: Activated off injured reserve
Kuemper (undisclosed) was taken off injured reserve Wednesday.
Kuemper hasn't been in the lineup since Nov. 13 due to the injury. He has a 4-2-3 record, 2.65 GAA and .899 save percentage in 10 appearances in 2024-25. Goaltender Erik Portillo has been reassigned to AHL Ontario in a correspounding move. David Rittich, who started in six of LA's seven games during Kuemper's absence, might continue to get the majority of the Kings' starts, but his workload will decrease now that Kuemper is available.

Kings' Trevor Lewis: Placed on injured reserve
Lewis (lower body) was designated for injured reserve Wednesday.
Considering Lewis is expected to be out of action for 4-6 weeks, his designation for injured reserve shouldn't come as a surprise. Prior to getting hurt, the veteran winger was mired in an 11-game goal drought, during which he generated a meager eight shots on net to go with two assists. In his absence, Tanner Jeannot, Alex Laferriere or Alex Turcotte could move into a top-six role.

Kings' David Rittich: Set to start Wednesday
Rittich is slated to start Wednesday's home game against the Stars, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
Rittich has been relatively effective recently, and he'll draw the start for the seventh time in the Kings' last eight games. Across his last eight outings, he's logged a 4-3-0 record, 2.25 GAA and .884 save percentage.

Kings' Trevor Lewis: Out 4-6 weeks
Lewis (lower body) will be out of action for 4-6 weeks, according to Russell Morgan of Hockey Royalty on Tuesday.
Lewis sustained the injury in Saturday's 5-2 win over Ottawa. He has accounted for three goals, seven points, 25 shots on net, 15 blocked shots and 46 hits through 25 appearances this season. Andre Lee will probably replace Lewis in Wednesday's lineup versus Dallas.

Kings' Andre Lee: Summoned from AHL
Lee was brought up from AHL Ontario on Tuesday.
Lee was a healthy scratch in Saturday's 5-2 win over Ottawa but could return to the lineup Wednesday versus Dallas. Trevor Lewis (lower body) won't play against the Stars after suffering an injury in Saturday's game. Lee has two assists, 15 shots on goal and 34 hits across 16 NHL appearances this season.

Kings' Samuel Helenius: Rejoins Los Angeles
Helenius was summoned from AHL Ontario on Tuesday.
Helenius was sent to the Reign on Monday, but he's now back with the Kings. The 22-year-old has collected two assists through nine games this season.

Kings' Jacob Moverare: Back with big club
Moverare was recalled from AHL Ontario on Tuesday.
Moverare hasn't earned a point in seven NHL outings this season while posting four shots on goal, 10 hits and 11 blocked shots. If he isn't returned to the minors, the 26-year-old blueliner will probably play against Dallas on Wednesday.

Kings' Drew Doughty: Making progress in recovery
Dennis Bernstein of The Fourth Period reports that Doughty (ankle) is aiming to return to action in early January as long as there are no setbacks in his recovery.
Doughty was seen leaving the arena without a walking boot after the Kings' 5-2 home win over the Senators on Saturday. It was the first time the right-shot blueliner has been seen without a walking boot since being around the team, Bernstein relays. When healthy, Doughty should retain his spot on the top pair and No. 1 power-play unit. Brandt Clarke hasn't looked out of place filling in for Doughty on the man advantage, though, which could allow the Kings to ease the latter back into his usual workload.

Kings' Jacob Moverare: Sent down by Los Angeles
Moverare was assigned to AHL Ontario on Monday.
Moverare has spent the last few weeks in the NHL, and he's logged 11 blocked shots and 10 hits while averaging 12:26 of ice time over seven appearances with the Kings. He was also sent down in mid-November in a paper transaction, but it's unclear whether he'll rejoin the NHL club in the coming days.
