  • One of each Thursday
    Moore scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

    Advice: Moore collected both points in the second period. The winger had five goals and three assists over nine outings in April, putting together a strong finish to a career-best regular season. Moore produced 31 goals, 26 helpers, 244 shots on net, 91 hits, 58 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating over 82 appearances.

  • Pair of points in Thursday's win
    Kempe scored the game-winning goal and added a power-play assist in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

    Advice: Kempe made his contributions late in the contest. He helped out on Viktor Arvidsson's equalizer with 1:21 left in regulation before tallying the game-winner six seconds into overtime. The pair of points gave Kempe 28 goals, 47 helpers, 246 shots on net, 112 hits and a plus-13 rating over 77 appearances this season. The 27-year-old will likely continue to see heavy usage in a top-line role in the Kings' first-round playoff series versus the Oilers. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago
     
  • Snaps slump to end regular season
    Byfield scored a goal on eight shots and added an assist in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

    Advice: Both points came on the power play. Byfield entered Thursday on a nine-game point drought. He was able to snap the drought with a second-period tally, and he also set up Viktor Arvidsson's equalizer in the third. Late slump aside, Byfield took a big step forward in 2023-24, finishing with 20 goals, 55 points (14 on the power play), 161 shots on net, 66 hits and a plus-19 rating over 80 appearances. Byfield spent most of the season on the top line, but he may be more sheltered in the postseason. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago
     
  • Scores two goals Thursday
    Arvidsson scored twice and added an assist in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

    Advice: Arvidsson got the Kings on the board in the second period, set up a Trevor Moore tally late in the frame and then scored a power-play marker late in the third to force overtime. The winger has been strong in April with five goals and five assists over nine contests. While he was limited to 18 regular-season appearances, Arvidsson produced 14 points (five on the power play), 59 shots on net and a plus-4 rating while seeing top-six minutes. He's a solid choice for fantasy managers in playoff contests. Rotowire.com 21 minutes ago
     
  • Wins ugly Thursday
    Talbot stopped nine of 13 shots in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over the Blackhawks.

    Advice: Talbot got the win, but it wasn't pretty. The Kings melted down early in the third period, only to salvage it with a Viktor Arvidsson equalizer with 1:21 left in regulation and Adrian Kempe's game-winner six seconds into overtime. The win set up the third consecutive year of a Kings-Oilers first-round matchup in the playoffs. Talbot ends the regular season 27-20-6 with a 2.50 GAA and a .913 save percentage. He'll likely be the starter in the playoffs as he looks to help the Kings finally get past one of his former teams. Rotowire.com 25 minutes ago
     
  • Helps out on power play
    Theodore logged a power-play assist, five shots on goal, three blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Ducks.

    Advice: Theodore picked up five helpers over eight outings in April, a noticeable drop from his electric performances in March. The 28-year-old blueliner ends the regular season with 42 points in 47 outings, surpassing his 41-point campaign from 2022-23. He added 105 shots on net, 78 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating this season, and he'll likely play a key top-four role for the Golden Knights during the playoffs. Rotowire.com 30 minutes ago
     
  • Picks up 30th assist, 60th point
    Karlsson logged a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Ducks.

    Advice: Karlsson slowed down a bit in early March, but he picked up the pace again with six goals and eight assists over the final 12 contests of the regular season. The 31-year-old center ended the campaign with 30 goals, 30 helpers, 175 shots on net and a plus-15 rating over 70 appearances, earning just the second 60-point campaign of his career. He'll likely begin the postseason on the third line, but the depth and versatility of the Golden Knights' offense is strong enough for him to be effective from that role.

  • Pots lone goal in loss
    Eichel scored a power-play goal on six shots and went minus-2 in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Ducks.

    Advice: Eichel racked up six goals and five assists over eight games in April. The 27-year-old center ends the regular season with 31 tallies, 68 points (22 on the power play), 278 shots on net, 61 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 63 appearances. Eichel will look to lead the Golden Knights in the first round versus the Stars, a rematch of last year's Western Conference Finals. He led the playoffs with 26 points last spring.
