  • Garners helper
    Spence logged an assist, two hits and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Oilers in Game 2.

    Advice: Spence set up a Kevin Fiala tally in the third period. After posting 24 points over 71 regular-season outings, Spence has maintained a third-pairing role in the postseason. He'll likely see limited minutes, but he could provide some depth offense and solid non-scoring numbers after racking up 67 hits, 55 blocked shots and 80 shots on goal in the regular season.

  • Notches helper in overtime win
    Anderson registered an assist, two shots on goal, five hits and three blocked shots in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Oilers in Game 2.

    Advice: Anderson has been surprisingly productive with a goal, an assist, three shots on net, seven hits and four blocked shots over two playoff contests. He was limited to one helper over his last 12 regular-season outings. Anderson's game is primarily defensive, but he'll get his chances to add depth scoring while playing alongside Drew Doughty on the top pair. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:09 pm
     
  • Chips in with assist
    Danault logged an assist and two hits in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Oilers in Game 2.

    Advice: Danault briefly had to leave the game after taking a hit, but he was able to return, finishing the contest with 17:59 of ice time. His helper was on Drew Doughty's first-period marker. Danault put up 47 points, 159 shots on net, 80 hits and 60 blocked shots over 78 regular-season outings as a do-it-all center on the Kings' second line. He'll likely continue to be tasked with tough defensive assignments, which could suppress his scoring chances in the playoffs. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:07 pm
     
  • Hands out assist in Game 2
    Arvidsson logged an assist, three hits and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Oilers in Game 2.

    Advice: Arvidsson set up Drew Doughty's breakaway tally in the first period. With two helpers over two playoff contests, Arvidsson is settling in nicely on the second line. The winger has added four shots on net. He closed the regular season with 10 points over his last nine outings, so it shouldn't be surprising to see the 31-year-old find success on offense.

  • Supplies pair of assists
    Byfield produced two assists, three hits, two PIM and a plus-4 rating in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Oilers in Game 2.

    Advice: Byfield helped out on Kevin Fiala's goal in the third period and set up Anze Kopitar for the game-winner 2:07 into overtime. The 21-year-old Byfield has some momentum with five points over his last three outings, which follows a nine-game slump. He's been listed on the third line for the playoffs, but his role has been fairly interchangeable with Alex Laferriere so far. Byfield has the better scoring outlook of the two even if he doesn't get back into a top-six role officially. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:02 pm
     
  • Tallies in win
    Doughty scored a goal on three shots in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime win over the Oilers in Game 2.

    Advice: Doughty got loose on a breakaway and converted for the Kings' third goal of the contest. The defenseman has two points, four shots on net, two hits and three blocked shots over two playoff contests. Doughty should continue to see massive minutes in all situations, so there will be chances for him to produce steady offense. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:56 pm
     
  • Slated to face LA
    Skinner is set to start at home against the Kings for Game 2 on Wednesday, per Jason Gregor of Sports 1440 Edmonton.

    Advice: Skinner allowed four goals on 37 shots versus LA in Game 1 on Monday, but he got plenty of goal support en route to a 7-4 victory. He's typically done better against the Kings, posting a 4-1-0 record, 2.39 GAA and a .926 save percentage over five contests this year, including four regular-season outings. The Kings also left something to be desired offensively during the regular season, finishing the campaign in a tie for 16th offensively with 3.10 goals per contest.

  • Nabs helper in loss
    Doughty recorded an assist, two blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Monday's 7-4 loss to the Oilers in Game 1.

    Advice: Doughty has six points over 10 contests since the start of April. The 34-year-old defenseman has plenty of playoff experience, and he's still capable of eating big minutes on the top pairing. Doughty averaged 25:48 of ice time per game during the regular season, earning 15 goals, 35 assists, 142 blocked shots, 109 hits and a plus-15 rating in 82 appearances. He's still a workhorse, and he's reliable enough to be effective in all zones. Rotowire.com Monday, 11:57 pm
     
  • Pockets helper
    Byfield notched an assist, two shots on goal and four hits in Monday's 7-4 loss to the Oilers in Game 1.

    Advice: Byfield set up an Adrian Kempe tally in the second period. An unsteady end to the campaign saw Byfield pick up two points in the regular-season finale following a 19-game goal drought in which he earned six assists. The 21-year-old had 55 points over 80 regular-season contests overall, but it's possible he's feeling the wear and tear of a full-length NHL season, which could limit his effectiveness in the playoffs.
