| Pos | Role | Name |
| C | 1 | Anze Kopitar  ActiveAnze Kopitar needed stitches after being struck in the face by the puck Thursday, but he's otherwise fine. Kopitar left the game briefly, but was able to return. "They numbed me up pretty good right after for stitches, so I didn’t really feel anything," Kopitar said. "So it wasn’t too bad. But after it wore off, it was sore a little bit but nothing too bad." Needless to say, he's expected to play Saturday. May 17 |
| 2 | Mike Richards ActiveMike Richards recorded an assist in the Kings' 4-3 win Thursday. Richards has seven points in his last five contests. He's tied for sixth in the NHL with seven assists in the playoffs. May 17 |
| 3 | Jarret Stoll  SidelinedJarret Stoll (undisclosed) will miss Game 3 against the San Jose Sharks. Stoll suffered an injury when Raffi Torres hit him in the head in Game 1. He has an assist and 23 hits in seven playoff contests. May 18 |
| 4 | Colin Fraser ActiveColin Fraser is projected to replace Brad Richardson on Los Angeles' fourth line Thursday night in Game 2 versus St. Louis. Fraser skated in 34 games for the Kings during the regular season, where he picked up two goals and seven points as well as 71 hits. May 2 |
| 5 | Jordan Nolan ActiveJordan Nolan was fined $1,436.94 for his crosscheck on Henrik Sedin Saturday. Nolan was a first time offender and fined one-half of his daily salary by the NHL. He has two goals and five points in 28 games with 33 penalty minutes. Mar 25 |
| LW | 1 | Dwight King ActiveDwight King has a goal and four assists in his last seven games. That's not bad, especially considering King had no points in his first 12 games. He is a fringe fantasy player in the deepest of leagues at this time and only because of his recent streak. Mar 5 |
| 2 | Dustin Penner ActiveKings coach Darryl Sutter is pleased with the play of forward Dustin Penner thus far in the postseason. "He matched his season," Sutter said. "He matched his regular season." Penner is notorious for his varying effort levels, but it's clear the Kings trust him once the playoffs roll around. If you selected him in your playoff pool you should feel confident that he'll be a regular in the Kings lineup. May 11 |
| 3 | Brad Richardson ActiveAs expected, Brad Richardson was inserted into the Kings' lineup on Thursday due to the injury to Jarret Stoll. "I thought he was nervous," Kings coach Darryl Sutter remarked. Richardson recorded an assist and three hits, but also finished the night with a minus-one rating. He logged 11:00 minutes of playing time. May 17 |
| 4 | Kyle Clifford SidelinedKyle Clifford (undisclosed) will not be available Saturday night. Clifford isn't sure if he'll be able to return before the end of the second round. He had seven goals and 14 points in 48 regular season games. May 18 |
| RW | 1 | Dustin Brown ActiveDustin Brown scored a power-play goal in the Kings' 4-3 victory on Thursday. Brown has been quiet in the playoffs from an offensive production standpoint, but perhaps this is a turning point. He was one of Los Angeles' heroes last year with eight goals and 20 points in their Stanley Cup winning run. May 17 |
| 2 | Jeff Carter ActiveJeff Carter had a goal and an assist in Game 2 on Thursday. Carter has four goals and six points over the last five contests. He was a dominate goal scorer in the regular season, but also a hot/cold player. Right now he's on fire and the Kings are reaping the benefits. May 17 |
| 3 | Justin Williams ActiveJustin Williams may have been the Kings best forward in the first round. Williams played well defensively like he always does and had 24 shots on goal to lead the team, while scoring twice and adding an assist. He is worth owning in playoff pools as the Kings are considered the favorites to move on in the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs as they will have home ice advantage when they play the Sharks. May 13 |
| 4 | Trevor Lewis ActiveTrevor Lewis scored the winner with 1:21 left in the third period to give the Los Angeles Kings a 4-3 win in Game 2 of the Western Conference semi-finals. The goal capped a furious comeback by the Kings who were down 3-2 with less than two minutes to go but a couple of San Jose penalties gave the Kings a two-man advantage and Dustin Brown scored at the 18:17 mark of the third to tie it up. The Kings were still on the power play when Lewis scored the winner 22 seconds later. The Kings got off to a 2-0 lead on goals by Jeff Carter and Drew Doughty. Los Angeles was great on the power play, scoring three times on six opportunities. It was Lewis's first goal of the playoffs. May 17 |
| 5 | Anthony Stewart ActiveThe Los Angeles Kings have recalled Anthony Stewart from the minors. Stewart was acquired by the Kings from the Hurricanes after the lockout but spent the season in the minors where he had four goals and seven points in 30 games. He also spent the lockout playing in England where he had six goals and 11 points in 19 games for Nottingham. May 12 |
| 6 | Tyler Toffoli ActiveTyler Toffoli netted an unassisted goal in the Kings' 2-1 overtime defeat on Saturday. It was Toffoli's first career playoff goal. Jeff Carter and Brad Richardson each recorded four shots on goal. Drew Doughty blocked a team-high five shots. Colin Fraser and Dustin Brown each had six hits for the Kings. Anze Kopitar won 16 of his 23 faceoff attempts in the losing effort. May 19 |
| D | 1 | Drew Doughty ActiveCoach Darryl Sutter was not happy with the play of his defenseman, save for the effort of Drew Doughty. Doughty was a stud on the blueline once again as he played a team-leading 28:28 minutes and scored a power play goal, his second goal of the post-season. "Our defense can clearly do a better job at that (getting more involved in the play), other than Doughty last night," coach Darryl Sutter said. "I think he had . . .maybe nine total attempts, and he had five shots. After that, we were. . .not nearly as involved, or what we were getting from the outside from some guys that are looked on as goal scorers or shooters for their team, what they were doing in the series – things like that." Game 3 will be played on Saturday with the Kings leading two games to none. May 18 |
| 2 | Willie Mitchell  I.L.Kings general manager Dean Lombardi is concerned that Willie Mitchell's knee injury could cause him to miss next season, possibly even ending his career. Mitchell had two surgeries on his knee, which was injured during the lockout, and the Kings GM expressed his worry over the 35-year-old's availability for next season. In terms of his career, that’s what I think we have to figure out now where he is health-wise in terms of his career," Lombardi said. ... "Now I’m getting some information – and I don’t like speaking to it because I don’t have it all, but I guess it’s safe to say there would be a legitimate concern now whether he plays next year. But that could be premature. Let’s just say now, though, it’s possible, where I wouldn’t have thought it possible." Mitchell has another year left on his deal at $3.5 million, and there's a chance he could be bought out this offseason. Apr 3 |
| 3 | Slava Voynov ActiveSlava Voynov and Mike Richards powered the Kings to a 2-0 Game 1 victory over San Jose on Tuesday night with a goal and an assist each. Voynov scored his third goal of the postseason thanks to a great hustle play from Richards, while Richards tipped in his first after a Voynov point shot. They’ve both been among the Kings’ top offensive players in the playoffs, and will be key for the remainder of this series. Jeff Carter was a plus-2 and added an assist in the win. May 15 |
| 4 | Alec Martinez ActiveKings coach Darryl Sutter wants to lean on Alec Martinez more. "So he’s given us 12 minutes. Is 12 minutes enough? No. We need a little more in both ways – quality and quantity," Sutter said. "Whether we like it or not, we are not a veteran defense. Marty…played a grand total of maybe a hundred games or whatever in the NHL. I don’t even know. But he’s got to play like one of our veterans. It can’t be just Robyn and Drew and Slava and Robbie playing like veterans. You need everybody to." Martinez has played in 142 regular season games. Look for him to get more minutes Wednesday night. May 8 |
| 5 | Jacob Muzzin ActiveKings defenseman Jacob Muzzin appears likely to retain his role on the team's second power play unit, which seems to be the reason he has stayed in the lineup. Coach Darryl Sutter acknowledged Saturday that Muzzin is a crucial part of the second unit, saying "Well, we kept him in more just because our power play’s been so good, and we’ve used Richie on the point on the one unit, so we need Muzzin there for the other one, for sure." Muzzin picked up 11 points in 17 games during the month of March and has been a pleasant surprise to anyone who gambled on him in deep fantasy leagues. Apr 21 |
| 6 | Robyn Regehr ActiveRobyn Regehr broke his nose for the second time in Game 5. Regehr also broke his nose in Game 1 after David Backes kicked him in the face and it was broken again on Wednesday when he was clipped by the high-stick of T.J. Oshie. Regehr has been paired with Drew Doughty and the duo have been terrific in the playoffs. May 12 |
| 7 | Robert Scuderi ActiveDefenseman Rob Scuderi is on a three game scoring streak. Normally this is not big news for an NHLer but it is for Scuderi who is not known for his offensive prowess. Hopefully you lucked out and had him in your lineup but somehow we doubt it. Mar 19 |
| 8 | Keaton Ellerby ActiveKeaton Ellerby is projected to remain in the lineup for Los Angeles in Game 4 on Monday. He saw just 9:05 of ice time in Game 3 when the Kings dressed seven defensemen and it looks like coach Darryl Sutter will stick with that formula Monday night. Ellerby will be used primarily as a penalty killer, while Alec Martinez is paired with Rob Scuderi, Jake Muzzin skates with Slava Voynov and Drew Doughty plays alongside Robyn Regehr May 6 |
| 9 | Matt Greene SidelinedMatt Greene (undisclosed) isn't expected to play Tuesday against San Jose when the second round of the playoffs begins. He participated in the team's morning on the fourth pair alongside Keaton Ellerby. Greene is listed as day-to-day. May 14 |
| G | 1 | Jonathan Quick ActiveJonathan Quick stopped 38 of 40 shots in a 2-1 overtime loss Saturday night. Los Angeles was outshot in every period of Saturday's contest. Quick held his own, but surrendered both goals when the Sharks had the man advantage. He now has a 1.60 GAA and .947 save percentage in nine postseason starts. Los Angeles still has a 2-1 series lead heading into Game 4 on Tuesday. May 19 |
| 2 | Jonathan Bernier ActiveThe Los Angeles chapter of the Professional Hockey Writers' Assn. nominated goalie Jonathan Bernier for the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy, awarded annually to the NHL player "who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey." Bernier, 24, didn't play during the Kings' Stanley Cup run last season but has played a key role this season while Jonathan Quick recovered from back surgery. Bernier ranks among the NHL leaders with a 1.86 goals-against average and .922 save percentage in 13 games. Apr 24 |
| 3 | Martin Jones ActiveMartin Jones has been summoned by the Los Angeles Kings. Jones isn't expected to get any playing time in the postseason, but this will be a learning experience for him. Jonathan Bernier is scheduled to become a restricted free agent this summer and the Kings might trade him rather than re-sign him because Jonathan Quick is already inked to a 10-year deal. If that happens, Jones might end up as the team's backup in 2013-14. He had a 2.53 GAA and .919 save percentage in 56 AHL games this season. May 8 |
| 4 | Jean-Francois Berube ActiveJean-Francois Berube has been called up by Los Angeles. Berube will try to learn what he can during the Kings' playoff run, but he won't participate in it. He had a 2.24 GAA and .910 save percentage in 24 ECHL contests in 2012-13. May 8 |
