Kings' Erik Portillo: Brought up from AHL
Portillo was recalled from AHL Ontario on Sunday.
The Kings sent down Pheonix Copley in a corresponding move. Portillo will probably occupy the backup role behind David Rittich in Monday's road game against San Jose due to the absence of Darcy Kuemper (undisclosed).

Kings' Pheonix Copley: Back to AHL
Copley was reassigned to AHL Ontario on Sunday.
Copley served as David Rittich's backup in Saturday's matchup with the Kraken. The 32-year-old netminder could potentially rejoin the Kings prior to Monday's game in San Jose, though goaltender Erik Portillo was recalled from Ontario in a corresponding move.

Kings' Andreas Englund: Getting short end of playing time
Englund has been scratched for seven of the Kings' first 10 games in November after sitting out Saturday's 2-1 win over the Kraken.
Englund doesn't add much outside of toughness, and his ice time has been under 10 minutes in each of his last three appearances. The Kings have been more willing to give Jacob Moverare a look on the third pairing. Englund has a goal, 17 hits, 12 PIM and five blocked shots over eight outings this season, and with another tough guy in Kyle Burroughs also on the outside looking in, Englund's unlikely to see steady playing time.

Kings' Kevin Fiala: Snags power-play assist
Fiala registered a power-play assist in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Kraken.
Fiala snapped a six-game point drought when he set up a Quinton Byfield tally in the second period. It's been a tough first quarter of the campaign for Fiala, who has gotten into the doghouse with head coach Jim Hiller over penalties. Putting up offense is Fiala's one path to productivity, so it's not a good sign when he goes streaky. The winger is at seven goals, six helpers, 55 shots on net and 16 PIM through 20 contests overall.

Kings' Anze Kopitar: Dishes two assists
Kopitar notched two assists, including one on the power play, in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Kraken.
Kopitar continues to serve as a high-end playmaker on the Kings' top line. He's gone eight games without a goal, but he has nine helpers in that span, with three of them coming on the power play. The 37-year-old center is up to 23 points (five goals, 18 assists), 26 shots on net, 12 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 21 appearances.

Kings' Adrian Kempe: Opens scoring in win
Kempe scored a goal on four shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Kraken.
Kempe is up to 10 goals this year, and he's scored half of them over the last four contests. The 28-year-old forward is in a groove on the top line, and his recent burst of production has been mostly at even strength. For the season, he's produced 19 points (three on the power play), 60 shots on net, 24 hits and a plus-7 rating through 21 appearances.

Kings' Quinton Byfield: Pots winner on power play
Byfield scored the game-winning goal on the power play in Saturday's 2-1 victory over the Kraken.
The 22-year-old rifled home a one-timer from a sharp angle early in the second period, giving the Kings a 2-0 lead. Byfield struggled out of the gates, perhaps feeling the weight of expectations after signing a five-year contract extension in July, but all three of his goals on the season have come in the last eight games.

Kings' David Rittich: Sharp in seventh win
Rittich stopped 19 shots in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Kraken.
The 32-year-old netminder nearly recorded his first shutout of the season, but a Brandon Montour blast through traffic with less than two minutes left in the third period snuck past Rittich to end the shutout bid. Rittich has started three straight games with Darcy Kuemper (undisclosed) sidelined and allowed only one goal in each, but with the Kings having called up Pheonix Copley to be the backup over unproven Erik Portillo, Rittich could get a breather as soon as Monday in San Jose.

Kings' Pheonix Copley: Back with Los Angeles
Copley was recalled from AHL Ontario on Saturday.
Copley will occupy the backup role behind David Rittich while Darcy Kuemper (undisclosed) is on IR. The 32-year-old Copley appeared in one game for the Kings this season, allowing two goals on 12 shots in a relief appearance versus Toronto on Oct. 16.

Kings' David Rittich: Good game not enough
Rittich stopped 18 of 19 shots in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to the Sabres.
Rittich was good while facing a light workload, but Jason Zucker's power-play tally early in the third period was the difference. Rittich has allowed one goal or fewer in four of his last five appearances (four starts), but he's taken two losses in that span. The 32-year-old slipped to 6-5-0 through 11 appearances while adding a 2.37 GAA and an .897 save percentage this season. Rittich will continue to see a heavy workload until Darcy Kuemper (undisclosed) can return from injured reserve.

Kings' David Rittich: Set to start Wednesday
Rittich is slated to start at home against Buffalo on Wednesday, per Zach Dooley of LA Kings Insider.
Rittich has a 6-4-0 record, 2.51 GAA and .892 save percentage in 10 appearances in 2024-25. He's coming off a 4-1 victory over Detroit on Saturday in which he stopped 17 of 18 shots. The Sabres rank 11th offensively with 3.33 goals per game.

Kings' Jacob Moverare: Called back up
Moverare was recalled from AHL Ontario on Monday.
Moverare was loaned to the AHL club Sunday, but he'll rejoin Los Angeles a day later. In his season debut for the NHL club Saturday, the 26-year-old recorded four blocked shots, two hits and a plus-1 rating in 14:50 of ice time in a 4-1 win over Detroit.

Kings' Samuel Helenius: Recalled from minors
Helenius was called up from AHL Ontario on Monday.
It seems Helenius' demotion to the minors Sunday was a paper transaction with the forward now officially back on the NHL roster. Looking ahead to Wednesday's matchup with the Sabres, it will likely come down to Helenius or Akil Thomas for the last spot on the fourth line. In his four appearances for the Kings, the 21-year-old Helenius has garnered two assists, four shots on goal and 12 hits.
