Kings' Kyle Burroughs: Placed on injured reserve
The Kings placed Burroughs (upper body) on injured reserve Sunday.
Burroughs sustained an upper-body injury during Tuesday's preseason game against the Mammoth and will be forced to miss at least the first week of the regular season. However, he's unlikely to play a significant role for Los Angeles this year, even when he's healthy.

Kings' Kyle Burroughs: Unavailable Saturday
Burroughs (upper body) isn't expected to play in Saturday's preseason game versus Anaheim, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.
Burroughs had three assists and 39 PIM in 33 regular-season outings with the Kings in 2024-25. The 30-year-old might spend the season with Los Angeles, but he's probably going to only occasionally be in the lineup, even if he's healthy.

Kings' Kyle Burroughs: Dealing with upper-body injury
Burroughs is managing an upper-body injury sustained in Tuesday's game versus the Mammoth, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
Burroughs suffered the injury on a blocked shot and is awaiting additional test results, but there is not much concern at this time. Burroughs figures to be defensive depth throughout 2025-26, with the Kings poised to begin the year with eight blueliners on the roster.

Kings' Kyle Burroughs: Sustains injury Tuesday
Burroughs won't return to Tuesday's game versus the Mammoth due to an undisclosed injury, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
The reason for Burroughs' departure was not revealed at the time of the announcement. The 30-year-old defenseman is not a lock for the Kings' roster, though if the injury is bad enough, he could end up on injured reserve rather than on waivers. Burroughs can be considered day-to-day ahead of Thursday's rematch with the Mammoth.

Kings' Kyle Burroughs: Checks in, earns assist
Burroughs notched an assist and three hits in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Kraken.
Burroughs set up a Quinton Byfield tally early in the first period. This was Burroughs' first appearance since March 3, as he filled in due to the absences of Joel Edmundson (upper body) and Drew Doughty (ankle). The Kings have clinched a playoff spot, and while there's still seeding to play for, they'll likely be cautious with any injuries for the rest of the regular season. Burroughs could see more time, but he has just three assists, five shots on net, 39 hits, 31 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 30 contests, so he's not a factor in most fantasy formats.

Kings' Kyle Burroughs: Remains in press box
Burroughs was scratched for the seventh time in nine games since the 4 Nations Face-Off break when he sat out Sunday's 6-5 win over the Golden Knights.
Burroughs has had trouble staying in the lineup since late January, and with the Kings regularly using six blueliners lately, there doesn't look to be a spot for him any time soon. The 29-year-old has produced just two assists with five shots on net, 36 hits, 31 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 29 appearances. For now, the Kings will entrust third-pairing spots to Jordan Spence and Brandt Clarke, while Jacob Moverare is also awaiting another chance to check in on defense.

Kings' Kyle Burroughs: No place in lineup
Burroughs was scratched for the eighth straight game in Friday's 5-4 shootout win over the Stars.
Burroughs played regularly when the Kings deployed seven defensemen for a couple of months. The return of Drew Doughty from an ankle injury and the return to a six-blueliner formation have combined to pinch both Burroughs and Andreas Englund out of the lineup, even in the absence of Mikey Anderson (finger). The Kings currently have nine defensemen on the roster, and when they get to full health, Burroughs or Englund could be at risk of landing on waivers. Burroughs is stuck on two assists with 34 hits and 31 PIM over 26 outings this season.

Kings' Kyle Burroughs: Rejoins team Monday
Burroughs (personal) was back on the ice Monday after he was re-added to the Kings' roster.
Burroughs was designated a non-roster player for personal reasons Saturday but looks to be back with the club. The 29-year-old blueliner has been far from a lock for the lineup this season, playing in just 20 games so far this year. In those appearances, Burroughs has notched two assists, 31 hits and three shots on goal while averaging a mere 8:39 of ice time.

Kings' Kyle Burroughs: Won't play Saturday
Burroughs (personal) was designated non-roster playing status Saturday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.
The Kings activated Trevor Moore (upper body) and Trevor Lewis (lower body) from injured reserve while loaning Andre Lee to AHL Ontario on Saturday in corresponding moves. Burroughs won't play against Tampa Bay on Saturday due to the birth of his child but could return to the lineup versus Calgary on Wednesday. He has two assists, three shots on goal, eight blocked shots and 31 hits in 20 appearances this season.

Kings' Kyle Burroughs: Draws in, earns assist
Burroughs picked up an assist and three hits in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Stars.
Burroughs dressed as a seventh defenseman and saw just 4:50 of ice time over six shifts. He was able to make an impact in the limited time, setting up Joel Edmundson's game-tying goal in the second period. Burroughs hadn't played since Nov. 7, and he's unlikely to have a role when the Kings use a traditional six-blueliner arrangement. The 29-year-old is up to two helpers, three shots on net, 23 hits, five blocked shots, 20 PIM and a plus-3 rating through nine appearances.

Kings' Kyle Burroughs: Losing playing time
Burroughs was scratched for Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Blackhawks, the seventh time in the last eight games he's sat out.
Burroughs played regularly early in the season, earning one assist over the first four games. He's one of three healthy right-shot defensemen on the roster, but the Kings have opted to dress four left-handed blueliners lately, with Andreas Englund maintaining a third-pairing role over Burroughs and Caleb Jones. The 29-year-old Burroughs has added two shots on net, 10 hits, 11 PIM, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in five appearances. Even when he plays, he has little to offer outside of toughness.

Kings' Kyle Burroughs: Involved in trade
Burroughs was acquired by the Kings from the Sharks on Thursday in exchange for Carl Grundstrom.
Burroughs had two goals, eight points, 71 PIM, 233 hits and 134 blocks in 73 contests with San Jose in 2023-24. He has two seasons remaining on his three-year, $3.3 million contract. Although the 28-year-old won't make much of an offensive impact with LA, the gritty blueliner figures to plug in nicely on the Kings' third pairing. While his minus-42 rating was the fifth worst in the league, the move to LA should have a massive positive impact on him in that category.

Sharks' Kyle Burroughs: Scores in Thursday's win
Burroughs scored a goal on four shots, doled out six hits, blocked three shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Kraken.
Burroughs snapped a 23-game point drought with the tally, which was his first career game-winner. The 28-year-old defenseman is up to eight points, 77 shots on net, 71 PIM, 221 hits and 127 blocked shots through 70 contests. The Sharks have given him a steady role for the first time in his career, but his physicality is his best contribution for fantasy purposes, as his offense remains limited.

Sharks' Kyle Burroughs: Draws assist in win
Burroughs posted a power-play assist, three hits, two blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Flames.
Burroughs has two helpers over his last three games. He assisted on the first of Luke Kunin's two goals in this contest. Burroughs has moved around the Sharks' lineup a lot this season, but it appears he's stuck in a bottom-four role for now. He's at seven points, 50 shots on net, 128 hits, 88 blocked shots, 51 PIM and a minus-27 rating through 46 appearances.

Sharks' Kyle Burroughs: Snags helper in overtime loss
Burroughs notched an assist, four hits and three blocked shots in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Ducks.
Burroughs was scratched Tuesday, but he checked back in with Ty Emberson (upper body) out. Burroughs picked up two points over nine outings in January, but he doesn't appear to be a lock for the lineup anymore. The 28-year-old defenseman has a career-high six points with 48 shots on net, 51 PIM, 85 blocked shots, 108 hits and a minus-24 rating over 44 appearances overall this year.

Sharks' Kyle Burroughs: Good to go
Burroughs (lower body) will be back in the lineup Tuesday against Toronto, per Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now.
Burroughs is slated to play alongside Calen Addison following a two-game absence. The 28-year-old Burroughs has produced four assists, 39 shots on goal, 73 blocked shots and 87 hits across 36 appearances this season.

Sharks' Kyle Burroughs: Not playing versus Toronto
Burroughs (lower body) will not play Saturday versus the Maple Leafs, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports.
Burroughs will miss a second game with the injury. Nikita Okhotyuk will replace Burroughs in the lineup for this contest. The Sharks' next game is a rematch in Toronto on Tuesday.

Sharks' Kyle Burroughs: Has lower-body injury
Burroughs will miss Thursday's game against Winnipeg because of a lower-body injury, per Max Miller of The Hockey News.
Burroughs has four assists, 36 PIM, 87 hits and 73 blocks in 36 contests this season. Marc-Edouard Vlasic will draw into the lineup after being scratched for San Jose's previous four games. Burroughs is day-to-day, so he might be able to return Saturday versus Toronto.

Sharks' Kyle Burroughs: Hands out helper
Burroughs notched an assist, two shots on goal, two PIM, four hits and four blocked shots in Sunday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Golden Knights.
Burroughs has picked up an assist in three of the last four contests. The 28-year-old defenseman is likely benefiting from the Sharks scoring at least four goals in all five of their games in December -- some of that offense is trickling down to the physical blueliner. He's at four assists, 31 shots on net, 33 PIM, 55 blocked shots and 57 hits through 27 outings overall. Burroughs' defensive skill set should help him stay in a top-four role.
