Moverare notched an assist, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Sharks.

The Kings were missing three regulars at forward and opted to dress Moverare as a seventh defenseman rather than insert forward Akil Thomas. This ended a 12-game stretch without an appearance for Moverare, who was limited to one assist in 20 contests prior to his stint in the press box. The 26-year-old defenseman has seven points, 25 shots on net, 27 hits, 51 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 43 outings in 2024-25.

Anderson logged an assist and four PIM in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Sharks.

Anderson's pair of penalties in the third period didn't haunt the Kings. He ended up getting a little extra in-game rest, logging just 11:31 of ice time. The defenseman produced four assists and a plus-5 rating over 16 outings in March. For the season, he's reached the 20-point mark for the second time in his career with six goals and 14 assists over 69 games. He's added 77 shots on net, 108 hits, 115 blocked shots, a plus-13 rating and 32 PIM. His next point will give him a career high if he's able to get on the scoresheet in the Kings' last nine contests.

Spence logged an assist, three hits and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Sharks.

Spence has four helpers over his last 11 contests. The 24-year-old defenseman continues to play regularly in a bottom-four role, but he's currently out of the mix for power-play time, which will limit his offense. Overall, he's matched his career-high point total from last season (24) in the same number of games (71). He's added 77 shots on net, 70 hits, 70 blocked shots and a plus-18 rating in 2024-25, showing a little more physicality thanks to a slightly larger role.

Clarke notched a power-play assist and four shots on goal in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Sharks.

Clarke set up the first of Warren Foegele's two goals in the second period. It was a middling March for Clarke -- he had a goal and five assists over 14 appearances, though he bounced back well after being scratched twice to begin the month. The 22-year-old defenseman is up to 31 points (eight on the power play), 119 shots on net, 111 blocked shots, 38 PIM and a plus-11 rating over 69 appearances. The Kings are once again turning to seven defensemen to manage injuries to forwards, so Clarke has a decent amount of stability in the lineup in the short term.

Gavrikov posted two assists and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Sharks.

Gavrikov set up Adrian Kempe for his second tally of the game late in the second period, and then helped out on an Andrei Kuzmenko goal in the third. This was Gavrikov's first multi-point effort since Feb. 5 versus the Canadiens. The defenseman is up to four goals, 23 helpers, 92 shots on net, 131 blocked shots and a plus-20 rating through 73 appearances. He likely won't have time to reach his career high of 33 points from 2021-22 with the Blue Jackets, but the 30-point mark isn't out of the question just yet.

Doughty registered two assists, two shots on goal and two PIM in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Sharks.

Doughty snapped a three-game slump with the pair of helpers. He was able to play in every contest in March, logging two goals and eight assists, as well as 23 shots on net and 26 blocked shots, over 16 appearances. The veteran blueliner is up to 14 points, 38 shots on net, 41 blocked shots, 20 hits, 20 PIM and a plus-4 rating across 25 outings in 2024-25.

Zellweger put up an assist in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.

Zellweger had to adjust to a new defense partner, as he played alongside Oliver Kylington in the absence of Jacob Trouba (lower body). The 21-year-old Zellweger is warming up with four points and 13 shots on net over his last four contests, and he's gone plus-5 across five games since March 20. The defenseman has 18 points, 113 shots on net, 63 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating through 55 outings this season.

LaCombe notched a power-play assist, three blocked shots and a minus-3 rating in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Maple Leafs.

LaCombe has points in five straight games, earning two goals and five assists in that span. The 24-year-old defenseman didn't have the strongest performance Sunday, but his offense has been more than enough to benefit fantasy managers in 2024-25. He's now at 42 points (eight on the power play), 121 shots on net, 114 blocked shots, 59 hits and a plus-1 rating through 66 appearances this season.

Benoit managed an assist and went plus-3 in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Ducks.

Benoit had five points over 15 outings in March, his most productive month of the season by far. He helped out on Steven Lorentz's game-winning tally Sunday. Benoit is up to nine points, 42 shots on net, 188 hits, 97 blocked shots, 54 PIM and a plus-5 rating over 70 appearances this season. He needs one more point to match his career high from 78 games in the 2022-23 campaign with the Ducks.

Karlsson logged a power-play assist, two shots on goal, two hits and two blocked shots in Sunday's 1-0 overtime win over the Senators.

Karlsson had been limited to one helper over his previous five games. The defenseman's last three points have come with the man advantage. For the season, Karlsson is up to 51 points (15 on the power play), 178 shots on net, 88 blocked shots and a minus-24 rating through 75 appearances. Barring an April injury, he's set to play in every game for the third year in a row, something he's done just one other time in his career.
