Edler notched an assist in Thursday's 3-2 shootout win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Since he sat out both games versus the Kraken recently, Edler has bounced back well with three points in his last two outings. He helped out on an Alex Iafallo tally in the second period Thursday. The veteran defenseman is the most experienced healthy blueliner the Kings have available right now. He's earned 14 points, 45 shots on net, 47 blocked shots, 48 hits and a plus-13 rating through just 32 contests this season. He should play a fairly regular role going forward, though the 35-year-old may need the occasional rest here and there.

Edler had a goal and an assist in Wednesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Edler notched his second goal of the season to put his team up 1-0 less than three minutes in. He assisted on Carl Grundstrom's second-period goal, giving Edler his fifth multi-point game of the season. That's a surprisingly high number for a guy with just 13 points in 31 games overall, but it likely isn't enough to earn Edler a roster spot in the majority of fantasy formats.

Edler (lower body) was activated from injured reserve and will play Thursday against visiting San Jose.

EDGE Analysis

Edler hasn't played since way back on Dec. 11, missing a total of 36 straight games with the injury. The 35-year-old will look to build upon his 11 points, 43 hits and 39 shots on goal in 18:26 of average ice time over 26 games this season.

Edler (lower body) practiced in a regular jersey Tuesday, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Edler isn't expected back until the end of March but the fact that he has been cleared for contact is certainly a step in the right direction. The defenseman has been out of action for the last 35 games with his last appearance coming Dec. 11 versus Minnesota. Prior to his absence, Edler notched seven points in his last 10 contests and should offer decent fantasy value once cleared to play.

Edler (lower body) isn't expected to return until late March, Lisa Dillman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Edler suffered the injury Dec. 11 and has been out ever since, with his absence expected to last a few more weeks. A specific return date for the defenseman hasn't been established yet. Edler has 11 points in 26 games this season and would likely assume a bottom-four role once he returns.

Edler (lower body) was reclassified for long-term injured reserve Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Edler has already been sidelined for four games, so his shift to LTIR will only add a few additional games to his recovery timeline. In 10 games prior to suffering his lower-body injury, the veteran blueliner tallied one goal, seven assists and 17 shots on goal while averaging 17:47 of ice time.

Edler (lower body) was formally moved to injured reserve Sunday, Lisa Dillman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

This news doesn't come as a surprise given that Edler was already expected out long-term with the injury suffered Saturday against Minnesota. The veteran defenseman isn't expected back until sometime in the new year, though a more specific timetable for a return has yet to be announced.

Edler (lower body) is expected to be out long-term after leaving Saturday's game versus the Wild in the first period, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

This isn't surprising, as Edler couldn't put weight on his left leg as he left the ice. An exact timeline hasn't been determined, but it would be surprising to see him play before the start of January at the earliest. The Swede is likely to be placed on injured reserve in the coming days.

Edler (lower body) won't return to Saturday's game versus the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Edler was injured on a hit early in the first period, and he couldn't put weight on his left leg as he exited the ice. The 35-year-old has 11 points in 26 appearances this season while playing in a top-four role. Olli Maatta will likely enter the lineup, while Christian Wolanin could be called up from AHL Ontario in Edler's absence. A more detailed timeline could be available in the coming days.

Edler notched an assist, two shots on net, two blocked shots and two PIM in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Edler helped out on an empty-net goal by Andreas Athanasiou in the third period. The 35-year-old Edler has contributed seven points in his last nine games. It's an unusually strong run of production for the Swede, who has a goal, 10 assists, 39 shots on net, 42 blocks, 43 hits and a plus-8 rating through 25 appearances overall.
