Korczak notched an assist and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Kings.

Korczak has two helpers over four appearances this season. He's been filling in for Nicolas Hague (lower body) in recent games, though Korczak has been limited to bottom-four minutes. The 23-year-old Korczak has added four shots on net, five hits, seven blocked shots and a plus-7 rating, so he may be auditioning to stay in the lineup even once Hague is healthy.

Theodore logged a power-play assist and went minus-2 in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Kings.

Theodore has a power-play helper in two of the last three games. He's slowed down after a torrid start to the year, but the 29-year-old defenseman continues to play big minutes for the Golden Knights, though he was listed on the third pairing at even strength Wednesday. Theodore has nine points (five on the power play), 18 shots on net, 10 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating over 10 appearances, and he'll be a safe option in fantasy as long as he's on the top power-play unit.

Anderson notched two assists, two hits, two blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Golden Knights.

Anderson ended a four-game point drought with his second multi-point effort of the year. He helped out on goals by Adrian Kempe and Alex Laferriere as the Kings dominated the scoring early. Anderson has six points, 15 shots on net, 18 hits, 12 blocked shots, eight PIM and a plus-3 rating through 11 contests. He's been fine without usual defense partner Drew Doughty (ankle) in the lineup -- Anderson has most often been paired with Vladislav Gavrikov in recent games.

Clarke produced three assists and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Golden Knights.

One of Clarke's helpers came on the power play. The 21-year-old is attempting to launch himself to star status quickly -- he has earned a goal and six helpers during his four-game point streak. Overall, he's at one goal, 10 assists, 21 shots on net, 19 blocked shots, 12 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 11 contests. He's tied with Josh Morrissey for fourth in points by defensemen this season, trailing only Cale Makar (19), Neal Pionk (12) and Alex Pietrangelo (12).

Edmundson scored a goal, added four PIM and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Golden Knights.

Edmundson stretched the Kings' lead to 6-1 in the third period. The defenseman has tallied three times over the last three games, matching his highest total in goals in the last four years. He's looked comfortable in a top-four role so far, earning five points, 14 shots on net, 15 hits, 16 blocked shots, eight PIM and a plus-2 rating. Edmundson has reached the 20-point mark just once in his first nine NHL campaigns, so his scoring pace is likely to slow down, though he should still offer plenty of production in the physical categories.

Weegar notched an assist, two hits, two blocked shots and two PIM in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to Utah.

Weegar had been held off the scoresheet in each of the last three games before helping out on Anthony Mantha's second-period tally. The 30-year-old Weegar plays a well-rounded game, so he doesn't necessarily have to score to be useful in fantasy. He's at five points, 23 shots on net, 29 hits, 21 blocked shots, six PIM and a plus-1 rating through 10 contests.

Cole posted an assist and four hits in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Flames.

Cole has four helpers over his last four games, an unusually strong stretch of offense for the 35-year-old defenseman. He's up to five assists, nine shots on net, 16 hits, 26 blocked shots and 16 PIM through 11 contests overall. Cole should continue to see top-four minutes for Utah, though the team's trade for Olli Maatta could eat into Cole's ice time moving forward.

Kesselring notched an assist and two PIM in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Flames.

Kesselring saw just 13:33 of ice time in this contest, but there's plenty of explanations for that. He's coming off an illness that kept him out of practice Tuesday, Utah traded for defenseman Olli Maatta and had him in the lineup and the team dressed seven blueliners. The addition of Maatta leads to some potential that Kesselring will see fewer minutes, though that loss of ice time would likely be in mostly defensive situations. Through 11 appearances, Kesselring has six points, 15 shots on net, 16 hits, nine blocked shots, 15 PIM and a plus-6 rating.

Lamoureux scored a goal and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Flames.

Lamoureux scored his first NHL goal in his fourth appearance, tallying on a blast from the point in the second period. The 20-year-old has adjusted well to the NHL so far with three shots on net, five hits, four blocked shots and a plus-3 rating while playing in a second-pairing role. The addition of Olli Maatta in a trade Tuesday could eat into Lamoureux's overall role, but he looks poised to get an extended look on Utah's injury-ravaged blue line.

Sergachev scored a power-play goal, notched two assists and added two PIM in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Flames.

One of Sergachev's helpers also came on the power play. He's scored in consecutive games and has five points over his last three outings. The defenseman is up to nine points (three on the power play), 22 shots on net, 20 blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 11 contests this season. Sergachev continues to see heavy minutes in all situations as Utah's No. 1 blueliner.
