| Pos | Role | Name |
| C | 1 | Anze Kopitar  ActiveAnze Kopitar notched two big assists on Sunday to help send Team Europe to the World Cup of Hockey finals versus Team Canada. Kopitar had just one point in the preliminary round, but was still doing lots of positive things without the puck to help Team Europe earn a spot in the semifinals. In the semis, Kopitar took on an offensive role, setting up Marian Gaborik in the second period, then Tomas Tatar for the overtime winner. Sep 25 |
| 2 | Jeff Carter ActiveJeff Carter (lower body) is skating on Wednesday at practice. He would like to play in four preseason games to get ready for the regular season. Carter had to sit out the World Cup of Hockey because of a lower-body injury, but that appears to be behind him now. Sep 28 |
| 3 | Nick Shore ActiveNick Shore will sit out Game 4 of the Western Conference first round matchup with the San Jose Sharks. The Kings are going with the same lineup as the overtime winning Game 3 roster, meaning Andy Andreoff will sit for the third straight and recent AHL Ontario Reign callup Kevin Gravel will have to wait patiently for his postseason debut. Apr 20 |
| 4 | Andy Andreoff ActiveAndy Andreoff, Nick Shore, and Kevin Gravel will be scratched in Friday's Game 5 against San Jose. Less than 20 minutes of ice time has been skated between the three of them, and without an impact on the stat sheet. We wouldn't expect anything else moving forward, unfortunately. Apr 22 |
| 5 | Michael Latta ActiveMichael Latta has signed a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Kings. He will make $600,000 on a one-way contract, according to a team source. Latta had six points and 50 penalty minutes in 43 games with Washington last year. He will probably be a bottom-six forward for the Kings. Jul 1 |
| LW | 1 | Tanner Pearson ActiveTanner Pearson scored at 3:47 of the first overtime period to win the game 2-1 for the Los Angeles Kings on Monday night. The goal was Pearson's first of the series. Dustin Brown and Vincent Lecavalier assisted on Pearson's game winning goal. Anze Kopitar was the other goal scorer for the Kings. Apr 19 |
| 2 | Teddy Purcell ActiveThe Los Angeles Kings have made their signing of Teddy Purcell official. The move was first reported on July 1, but the Kings weren't ready to announce the deal prior to Wednesday. Based on the previous report, Purcell's one-year deal is worth $1.6 million. He had 14 goals and 43 points in 76 games between Edmonton and Florida last season. Jul 6 |
| 3 | Dwight King ActiveDwight King will ascend back up to LA's first line in Friday's Game 5 against San Jose. King will skate to the left of Anze Kopitar and Marian Gaborik, just has he did in Game 3's victory. Despite playing on the top line and skating in each game, King is still without a point in the series. Apr 22 |
| 4 | Kyle Clifford ActiveKyle Clifford was a healthy scratch for the Kings on Tuesday night. Clifford, in 54 games this season, has three goals and eight points with a -3 rating. Apr 6 |
| 5 | Adrian Kempe ActiveAdrian Kempe will likely play another season in the AHL. The Kings first pick in 2014, Kempe made the trek from Sweden last season and played for the Ontario Reign of the AHL. He struggled at times and went 17 straight games without a goal before he suffered an upper body injury in late February. Kempe ended the season with 11 goals and 28 points in 55 games but had 16 points in his first 20 games in the league. Kempe will likely be a call up at some point in the season but it is still too early to tell if he is worth a pickup this season in fantasy pools. Sep 25 |
| RW | 1 | Tyler Toffoli ActiveTyler Toffoli can be a restricted free agent at the end of the 2016-17 season. He is eager to prove himself and for the Kings to bounce back after the team's elimination in Round 1 of the playoffs by San Jose. "I think this year, especially, we all have to come in and earn our spots," Toffoli said. "After the past two seasons, it's a disappointment for us. We know what we had, especially last year. We let ourselves down." He played alongside Jeff Carter and Milan Lucic, who left for Edmonton as a free agent, for most of the 2015-16 campaign. Toffoli said he was sorry to see Lucic leave, but he remains confident that Los Angeles has the pieces to be a top contender. Aug 9 |
| 2 | Marian Gaborik  I.L.Marian Gaborik will miss eight weeks due to his foot injury. In other words, Gaborik's not going to just miss the start of the regular season, but a significant portion of it. The Kings were hoping that he'd bounce back from his 22-point 2015-16 campaign and for a time it looked like the World Cup might serve as a good starting point on that journey. Unfortunately this injury has derailed that and while he might still be effective once he's healthy, there's a real chance that he might not be worth owning in standard leagues this season. Sep 26 |
| 3 | Dustin Brown ActiveDustin Brown is going forward after losing the captaincy over the summer. The Kings' hope is that without the pressure of the captaincy, Brown will be a more productive player. "It’s not really a fun thing to go through, but you try to learn from it and take the positives from it," Brown said. "The only other option is an option I’m not interested in. Adversity, both individually and teamwide, if you take the right attitude, can make you better. That’s my approach." The other option he referred to would be to demand a trade, which is something he hasn't done. Brown had just 11 goals and 28 points in 82 contests in 2015-16. Sep 24 |
| 4 | Jordan Nolan ActiveJordan Nolan (back) is fine to participate in the Kings' training camp. Nolan's didn't play past Feb. 18 last season and had surgery for a herniated disc in early March. "I feel great right now, and I feel fast and feel strong, so I’m looking for a good year," Nolan said. He had five assists and 38 penalty minutes in 52 games last season. Sep 14 |
| 5 | Trevor Lewis ActiveTrevor Lewis has inked a four-year deal with Los Angeles worth $8 million. The Kings were not able to come to terms with Milan Lucic, so they turned their attention to another pending UFA in Lewis. He notched just eight goals and 16 points in 75 games last season. Jun 25 |
| 6 | Michael Mersch ActiveLos Angeles has sent Michael Mersch to the minors. Mersch has a goal and three points in 17 games with the Kings in 2015-16. By sending Mersch to the Ontario Reign now, he's maintained eligibility for the AHL playoffs. Mar 1 |
| D | 1 | Drew Doughty ActiveDrew Doughty is the 2016 Norris Trophy winner. This is the first time Doughty has claimed the Norris Trophy, but he's had a couple near misses in the past. He finished second in the Norris Trophy voting in 2015 and was third in 2010. He's coming off of a campaign where he recorded 14 goals and 51 points in 82 contests. He also had 125 hits and 105 blocked shots. Jun 22 |
| 2 | Jake Muzzin ActiveJake Muzzin will be scratched against Russia in Saturday's semi-final. Kings fans may not appreciate coach Mike Babcock's decision to sit their best defender not named Drew Doughty, but it's tough to change a winning lineup in an elimination game. Sep 24 |
| 3 | Alec Martinez ActiveAlec Martinez has completely recovered from his offseason shoulder surgery. Martinez had 10 goals and 31 points in 78 contests last season. It's worth noting that Martinez's most common partner last season was Jake Muzzin, but Muzzin is now expected to start the season on a pairing with Drew Doughty, so we'll have to see who Martinez ends up working with. Sep 22 |
| 4 | Brayden McNabb ActiveBrayden McNabb's two-year contract is worth $3.4 million in total. A previous report put McNabb's cap hit in the $1.7 million to $1.75 million range, so as it turns out it's at the low-end of that projection. The blueliner will earn $1.6 million next season and $1.8 million in 2017-18. He can become an unrestricted free agent after that. Jun 6 |
| 5 | Matt Greene ActiveMatt Greene took part in Monday's exhibition contest, which was his first game since Oct. 13. Greene was sidelined for most of the 2015-16 campaign due to a shoulder injury. He might play regularly on the third pairing if he stays healthy this season. Sep 27 |
| 6 | Rob Scuderi ActiveRob Scuderi was a healthy scratch for the LA Kings on Tuesday night. In 61 games this season, the 38-year old has only ten assists and a +8 rating. Scuderi is more well-known for his defensive role on the Kings making him not use of a fantasy player. Apr 6 |
| 7 | Zach Trotman ActiveZach Trotman has agreed to a one-year deal with Los Angeles. His AAV on the contract is $650,000, according to a team source. Trotman suited up in a career high 38 games for Boston last season and he contributed seven points as well as 60 shots. Jul 1 |
| 8 | Tom Gilbert ActiveTom Gilbert has signed a one-year deal with Los Angeles worth $1.4 million. He suited up in 45 games with Montreal last season and finished the year on the sidelines with a knee injury. Gilbert is expected to be sidelined until late August with the ailment. Jul 1 |
| 9 | Paul LaDue |
| G | 1 | Jonathan Quick ActiveJonathan Quick is back with the Los Angeles Kings following the United States' exit from the World Cup. Quick was in net for two of the States' three tournament losses. He posted a 3.56 GAA and .863 save percentage. Although the World Cup gave him an opportunity to warmup before the regular season, Quick still intends to participate in one or more preseason game. "I want to play," he said. "We’ve got a schedule in place." Sep 29 |
| 2 | Jeff Zatkoff ActiveGoaltender Jeff Zatkoff is excited to be back as a member of the Los Angeles Kings. Zatkoff was originally drafted by the Kings in the 2006 and spent four seasons in their farm system before being dealt to Pittsburgh. He won a Stanley Cup ring last season with the Penguins and contributed by playing two playoff games but is now back in LA. "It’s exciting for me," Zatkoff said after the third day of Kings camp on Saturday. "You leave, you don’t think that you’re probably going to end back up in that organization. I went to Pittsburgh and they gave me an opportunity to play and then just kind of the way that things shaked out I had an opportunity to come back. I was excited. Just a chance to work with Billy [Ranford] again. I know a lot of guys in this room so it makes the transition a little easier, but definitely being able to work with someone that you feel is a big part of the reason you are in the NHL. To be able to come back and work with him really was a huge selling point for me." Look for Zatkoff to play in 20-25 games this season. Sep 26 |
