  • Kings' Alex Laferriere: Snags helper in loss

    Laferriere notched an assist, three shots on goal, five hits and two blocked shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Oilers in Game 4.

    Laferriere picked up his first point of the playoffs with his helper on a Kevin Fiala tally in the second period. While he hasn't been scoring, Laferriere has added eight shots on net, 11 hits, four blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over four playoff contests. The 23-year-old brings a physical element to the third line, and while his scoring chances may stay limited, he can contribute in a variety of ways.

  • Kings' Phillip Danault: Two more helpers in loss

    Danault logged two assists, five shots on goal and six blocked shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Oilers in Game 4.

    Danault has three multi-point efforts over four playoff games. He's amassed two goals, five assists, seven shots on net, six hits, 11 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating this postseason. The second-line center plays a massive defensive role for the Kings, though his recent success on offense is enough to make him an option in DFS.

  • Kings' Warren Foegele: Strong effort in loss

    Foegele scored a goal on nine shots and blocked three shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Oilers in Game 4.

    Foegele's nine shots led the game, one more than Edmonton's two-goal scorer Evan Bouchard had. The 29-year-old Foegele continues to play a key supporting role for the Kings, earning three points, 17 shots on net, 12 hits, four blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over four playoff outings. The winger is on the second line and second power-play unit, offering some upside as a depth scorer with a bit of physicality.

    Kings' Trevor Moore: Scores in Sunday's loss

    Moore scored a goal on two shots and added four hits in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Oilers in Game 4.

    Moore has scored in back-to-back games despite the Kings losing both of those contests. He's up to four points, 11 shots, 13 hits, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over four playoff outings. Moore is playing in a middle-six role and serving on the second power-play unit.

  • Kevin Fiala LW | LA

    Kings' Kevin Fiala: Tickles twine in loss

    Fiala scored a goal on five shots, added two hits and blocked two shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Oilers in Game 4.

    Fiala stayed hot in the first round with his third goal and fifth point over four games. This was his first even-strength point of the series. His tally gave the Kings a 3-1 lead, but they couldn't make it stick. The winger has added 19 shots on net, 11 hits, five blocked shots and a plus-1 rating this postseason.

  • Kings' Darcy Kuemper: Falters late again in Game 4 loss

    Kuemper stopped 43 of 47 shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Oilers in Game 4.

    Kuemper had another bad third period. Of the 16 goals he's allowed in this series, 10 of them have come in the third period or overtime. That inability to close out games is unusual considering how good Kuemper was late in the regular season, which included a pair of shutout wins of the Oilers in April. Still, he's the Kings' No. 1 goalie, and it doesn't look like his role as the starter is in any danger.

  • Oilers' Ryan Nugent-Hopkins: Helps out on power play

    Nugent-Hopkins notched a power-play assist and three shots on goal in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Kings in Game 4.

    Nugent-Hopkins has a goal and an assist over his last two games. His helper Sunday was his first power-play point since April 1 versus the Golden Knights. The 32-year-old continues to fill a top-six role, but so far in the playoffs, he's been more of a supporting player rather than a scoring leader. He's added seven shots on net, two hits, two blocked shots and an even plus-minus rating over four postseason outings.

  • Oilers' Connor McDavid: Distributes three assists

    McDavid notched three assists, seven shots on goal and two PIM in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Kings in Game 4.

    McDavid helped out on both of Evan Bouchard's goals in the third period as well as Leon Draisaitl's power-play game-winner in overtime. In addition to the playmaking, McDavid was the one who drew the tripping penalty on Vladislav Gavrikov in overtime. McDavid has 10 points (two goals, eight assists) while adding 16 shots on net, 10 hits and a plus-4 rating over four playoff contests.

  • Corey Perry RW | EDM

    Oilers' Corey Perry: Pair of power-play points in win

    Perry scored a goal on four shots, dished an assist and added four hits in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Kings in Game 4.

    Both of Perry's points came on the power play. He got the Oilers on the board at 4:11 of the second period and set up Leon Draisaitl's game-winner in overtime. Perry has four points, five shots on net, seven hits and a plus-5 rating over four playoff appearances despite primarily featuring in a bottom-six role. He was on the top power-play unit Sunday, and he'll have a bit more fantasy value if he sticks in that spot.

  • Oilers' Evan Bouchard: Another two-goal game

    Bouchard scored twice on eight shots in Sunday's 4-3 overtime win over the Kings in Game 4.

    Bouchard logged his second multi-goal game in a row. This was an important performance for the defenseman, as his second tally forced overtime, where Leon Draisaitl scored to secure the comeback win. Bouchard has four goals, three assists, 18 shots on net, four blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over four playoff outings in his usual spots on the top pairing and first power-play unit.
