Kuzmenko scored a goal on four shots and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzmenko ended a seven-game goal drought with his tally at 12:37 of the second period. That goal also stood as the game-winner. The 29-year-old winger has been streaky at times, though he's racked up 12 points over his last 18 outings since he was scratched Dec. 13 versus the Flames. He now has 10 goals, 20 points, 59 shots on net, 18 hits and a minus-2 rating through 44 appearances this season.

Kuzmenko notched a goal and an assist in Monday's 4-2 win over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzmenko assisted on Kevin Fiala's goal in the second period, and he later found the back of the net to give the Kings a 3-1 lead at the 9:20 mark of the final frame with a wrister. Kuzmenko has two multi-point performances in his last three games and seven points (four goals, three helpers) over his last seven appearances.

Kuzmenko had a goal and an assist, both on the power play, in a 5-3 loss to Tampa Bay on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The second power-play unit, which includes Kuzmenko, received high praise from coach Jim Hillier after the game: "That group, in particular, is moving it well and they feel dangerous, as dangerous as we've been all year." Thursday was the first time this season that the Kings scored multiple power-play goals in a game. They were the only team in the NHL to not have done so. Kuzmenko, who has really scuffled this season, may finally be warming up. He has five points, including three goals, in his last five games, and three of those points (one goal, two helpers) have come on the power play. Prior to that, Kuzmenko had just nine points (five goals, four assists) in his previous 29 games.

Kuzmenko scored a goal on three shots in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzmenko has scored in consecutive contests, and he has four tallies over his last seven outings. The 29-year-old winger was a healthy scratch at times in November and December, but continuing to contribute offensively should help him stay in the lineup. He's now at seven goals, 11 points, 42 shots on net, 18 hits and a minus-3 rating over 31 appearances. Kuzmenko is still tough to trust in fantasy until he can prove himself over a longer stretch.

Kuzmenko scored a goal in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Blue Jackets.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzmenko has found the back of the net in two of his last four games. Despite holding a bottom-six role, the 29-year-old winger has found ways to produce -- he has six goals and 10 points in 30 appearances this season.

Kuzmenko scored a power-play goal in Monday's 4-1 loss to the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzmenko found the back of the net at the 11:03 mark of the second period to give the Kings a 1-0 lead, but the Stars would turn things around after scoring four unanswered goals the rest of the way. This was Kuzmenko's fifth goal of the season, and it's worth noting that four of those have come on the power play. Through 27 appearances, the 29-year-old winger has nine points (five goals, four assists), so he shouldn't carry a lot of upside even if he plays as a top-six forward.

Kuzmenko scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzmenko ended an 11-game point drought with the second-period tally. In that stretch, he was also scratched three times. The 29-year-old's pattern of initially dominating with a team and then fading into inconsistency has continued with the Kings, who are currently deploying him on the fourth line and second power-play unit. He has just four goals, four assists, 33 shots on net, 17 hits and a minus-3 rating across 25 outings this year.

Kuzmenko scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzmenko scored at 9:49 of the third period to break up Jacob Markstrom's shutout bid. The tally ended a three-game point drought for Kuzmenko. The 29-year-old winger has been fine on offense early in 2025-26, posting three goals, four assists, 19 shots on net, 13 hits and a plus-2 rating over 13 appearances. He's still in a top-line role and can go on hot streaks, so there's some upside for fantasy managers in search of offense.

Kuzmenko scored a power-play goal on two shots in Saturday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzmenko has two power-play goals and four total points through six games this season. The absence of Anze Kopitar (foot, week-to-week) won't help Kuzmenko's productivity, though the Kings as a whole have been somewhat underwhelming so far. In addition to his four points, the 29-year-old winger has accumulated nine shots on net, nine hits and a plus-1 rating while seeing top-six minutes and power-play time. He won't stay that physical all season, but he should provide decent offense.

Kuzmenko scored a power-play goal on two shots, added an assist and logged two hits in Wednesday's 6-5 shootout win over the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzmenko opened the scoring just 4:41 into the game, and he had a hand in Brandt Clarke's game-tying goal in the third period. However, after the tying goal, Kuzmenko received just two shifts. The 29-year-old is penciled in on the top line and showed some talent late in 2024-25 in that spot alongside Anze Kopitar and Adrian Kempe. Kuzmenko will need to showcase his skill without dipping in performance, as head coach Jim Hiller could give another winger a look in his spot if he slumps too long at any point in the year.
