Player Notes

  • On modest three-game point streak
    Anderson logged an assist, four hits, three blocked shots and two PIM in Friday's 6-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 3.

    Advice: Anderson has gotten on the scoresheet in every game of the postseason so far, earning a goal and two assists. He's added four shots on net, 11 hits and seven blocked shots. Anderson remains alongside Drew Doughty on the Kings' top defensive pairing, so it's not all that odd to see the former get looks on offense. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:47 pm
  • Generates helper
    Byfield provided an assist and added two PIM in Friday's 6-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 3.

    Advice: Byfield has four helpers and a plus-5 rating over three playoff contests. The 21-year-old is seeing steady top-six minutes, though this was the first time in three games he started on the top line. Byfield can offer offense with a little physicality, but it's yet to be seen if reuniting him with Anze Kopitar and Adrian Kempe will be the adjustment the Kings need to keep pace in this first-round series.

  • Nets lone goal in loss
    Doughty scored a goal and added 12 PIM in Friday's 6-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 3.

    Advice: Doughty got the Kings on the board in the second period, but they weren't able to muster a rally. His slashing penalty in the first also to the first of the Oilers' three power-play markers. Doughty's offense (two goals, one assist, five shots on net) has been fine in the playoffs, but he's minus-2 with 12 PIM, three hits and three blocked shots over three contests in the first round.

  • Torched for six more goals
    Talbot allowed six goals on 40 shots in Friday's 6-1 loss to the Oilers in Game 3.

    Advice: Talbot has given up a total of 16 tallies over three games in the first round, so he's lucky the Kings are only down 2-1 in the series. The 36-year-old's play has been lackluster, but he's not getting a ton of help from his defense. Game 4 is Sunday, but it's unclear if the Kings will stick with Talbot much longer if he continues to struggle, which could open the door for David Rittich to get a look.

  • Offers helper in win
    Ceci provided an assist, two shots on goal and two blocked shots in Friday's 6-1 win over the Kings in Game 3.

    Advice: Ceci set up an Evander Kane goal in the second period. The helper was Ceci's first point in four outings since he rested in the Oilers' penultimate regular-season game. The defenseman had 25 points, 97 shots on net, 91 hits and 106 blocked shots over 79 regular-season outings while filling a top-four role this season, one he's continued in for the playoffs.
