Zub notched an assist, three shots on goal and two blocked shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Kings.

Zub has helpers in back-to-back games for the first time since Dec. 19-21, though he has three multi-assist efforts in that span. The 28-year-old defenseman is up to 22 points in 48 contests, matching his career high from 81 outings in 2021-22. He's added 60 shots on net, 98 hits, 85 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating as a reliable top-four blueliner this season.

Sanderson posted a power-play assist, two shots on goal, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Kings.

Sanderson has four assists, including two on the power play, over his last 11 outings. He's had trouble stringing offense together for much of the campaign, but he's played well enough all around to maintain a top-four role. Sanderson is at 28 points (eight on the power play) with 122 shots on net, 107 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating through 58 appearances.

Gavrikov posted an assist, two shots on goal, two blocked shots and two PIM in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Senators.

Gavrikov has two helpers over his last three games, matching his point total for all 11 games in February. The 28-year-old helped out on a Quinton Byfield tally in the second period. Gavrikov has mainly stuck to defense this season, posting 16 points, 86 shots on net, 78 blocked shots, 49 hits and a plus-3 rating through 57 appearances in a second-pairing role.

Doughty posted an assist, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Senators.

It was a rare game where Doughty didn't lead the Kings in ice time -- both Matt Roy and Vladislav Gavrikov played more. The 34-year-old Doughty is no stranger to a heavy workload, and it's been going well for him with 12 points over his last 11 contests. For the season, the defenseman has 39 points, 108 shots on net, 116 blocked shots, 83 hits and a plus-11 rating over 62 appearances in a top-pairing role.

Roy notched two assists, four hits, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Senators.

Roy helped out on a Pierre-Luc Dubois tally in the third period and later set up Kevin Fiala's goal in overtime. This was Roy's first multi-point effort since Jan. 15. The defenseman is up to 20 points for the third year in a row, and he's added 109 shots on net, 124 hits, 142 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating through 61 appearances. Look for Roy to continue to handle a heavy workload in the absence of Mikey Anderson (upper body).

Moverare scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Senators.

Moverare's run the gamut of NHL emotions in the last couple of days. He was waived Wednesday, then promptly signed a two-year extension with the Kings. He stayed with the NHL club after clearing waivers Thursday and capped off the chaotic week with his first career goal and his first point in 11 outings in 2023-24. Moverare has added just nine shots on net, eight hits and 20 blocked shots. The 25-year-old will likely continue to help filling the void created by Mikey Anderson's (upper body) absence.

Pelech notched an assist, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Sharks.

Pelech has four helpers and a plus-6 rating over his last four games. The defenseman stayed warm by helping out on a Kyle MacLean tally in the second period. Pelech is up to 12 points, 44 shots on net, 67 blocked shots, 39 hits and a plus-1 rating through 38 outings this season. He should continue to see top-four minutes as a steady defensive presence with modest offensive upside.

Pulock logged a power-play assist, two shots on goal and three blocked shots in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Sharks.

Pulock has four points over his last five games. The defenseman assisted on an Anders Lee tally in the third period. Pulock continues to see steady top-four minutes and now has 12 points (three on the power play) with 60 shots on net, 102 blocked shots, 72 hits and a minus-2 rating over 38 appearances.

Aho scored a goal on three shots, blocked two shots, added two PIM and went plus-3 in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Sharks.

Aho has a goal and an assist over his last two games following a 10-game point drought that also saw him scratched six times. The 28-year-old defenseman is holding down a third-pairing role while Scott Mayfield (lower body) and Robert Bortuzzo (lower body) are both on long-term injured reserve. Aho has two goals, eight points, 41 shots on net, 62 blocked shots and a minus-8 rating through 47 appearances.

Romanov scored a goal on four shots and blocked two shots in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Sharks.

Romanov has a goal and an assist over his last two games after posting just one goal over his previous 12 contests. The defenseman's focus is often in his own zone rather than the attacking end, but he's now posted more goals this season (seven) than in his previous three campaigns combined (six). Romanov has 16 points, a plus-17 rating, 95 shots on net, 111 hits and 132 blocked shots over 61 appearances.
