Laferriere scored a power-play goal on seven shots in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Penguins.
Laferriere put an end to his eight-game goal drought in this contest. He still had six assists in that span, which has included a move to the top line between Artemi Panarin and Adrian Kempe. If Laferriere stays there, he has plenty of potential on offense. The 25-year-old is at three goals, eight assists, 44 shots on net, 43 hits and a plus-4 rating across 15 appearances this season.

Kings' Alex Laferriere: Slides two more helpers Monday
Rotowire
Laferriere dished out two assists, including one on the power play, placed two shots on net and had three hits in Monday's 6-3 win over the Rangers.
Laferriere has put on a playmaking clinic during the Kings' five-game road trip, as he's dished out five assists across the first four outings. One of his two apples in Monday's win came on Artemi Panarin's power-play goal, which helped Laferriere secure his first point of the season with a man advantage. Overall, the 24-year-old center is up to seven assists, nine points, 18 shots on net, 27 hits and nine blocked shots across 10 appearances. His strong category coverage numbers makes him a top waiver-wire pickup in leagues that value stats without the puck in addition to offensive contributions. Laferriere appears to have the No. 1 center role locked up for the foreseeable future, which should help him be relevant in standard fantasy formats as well.

Kings' Alex Laferriere: All-around performance in win
Rotowire
Laferriere distributed two assists, posted a plus-2 rating, placed three shots on net, recorded two blocked shots, served two PIM and dished out four hits in Tuesday's 5-2 win over Washington.
Laferriere was involved in each of his linemate Adrian Kempe's goals Tuesday by providing a secondary helper. With the pair of assists, the 24-year-old Laferriere is up to six points, 14 shots on goal, 23 hits and eight blocked shots across seven appearances this season. He's currently above his point pace from each of the past three seasons, and if his offensive hot streak continues, he'll have a real shot at contending for the half-century mark for the first time in his four-year NHL career. Given his all-around play style and secure role centering the Kings' top line, Laferriere is currently one of the top waiver-wire pickups in standard leagues, especially ones that value category coverage.

Laferriere scored a goal on two shots, blocked two shots and went minus-2 in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Bruins.
Laferriere has done well in a top-six role so far this season, earning two goals and two assists over six contests. That comes with the caveat that the Kings have scored just 12 goals. Laferriere has added 11 shots on net, 18 hits, six blocked shots and a minus-2 rating. He has plenty of fantasy potential as a power forward, especially once the Kings' offense improves as a whole.

He's been effective in a second-line role lately and could be an interesting option in DFS formats during the Kings' playoff run.

Kings' Alex Laferriere: Closes out scoring Monday
Rotowire
Laferriere scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Monday's 5-3 win over the Kraken.
Laferriere assisted on Trevor Moore's second-period goal, a tally that gave the Kings a 3-0 lead midway through the game. The Kraken mounted a third-period comeback and were just one goal away from tying the game, but Laferriere closed out the scoring with two seconds left with an empty-netter on the power play. Laferriere has been playing well in recent weeks with 12 points (four goals, eight assists) over his last 14 appearances. He has 41 points on the season, and with two games left on the schedule, he could set a new career-high mark in points if he continues to deliver on offense. He's one point shy of matching the career-high 42-point output he delivered in the 2024-25 regular season.

Laferriere tied it 3-3 at 13:10 of the third period when he deflected Brandt Clarke's point shot in the slot. The point stretched his current scoring streak to three games, three points and nine shots, including five Thursday night. Laferriere scored 19 times last season, in large part because he fired the puck a lot. This season, he has 39 shots in 18 games, so he could come close to that tally if he starts wiring the vulcanized rubber at opposing twinetenders a bit more .

Kings' Alex Laferriere: Ties game Sunday

The 23-year-old has gotten a look on the top line recently while Anze Kopitar (foot) is out of action. Laferriere has added 14 shots on net, 19 hits, six blocks and a minus-4 rating this season. He's got some talent, as evidenced by his 19-goal, 42-point regular season in 2024-25, but he'll need to make up for lost time soon if he's to take another step forward in 2025-26.
