Lemieux (lower body) skated Thursday at practice, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lemieux hasn't played since Nov. 12 when he suffered the injury against the Red Wings. He'll miss his ninth straight game Thursday, but it's possible the 26-year-old winger is close to being activated from injured reserve. He'd likely see a fourth-line role once he's back in action.

Lemieux (lower body) was placed on injured reserve Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Lemieux was injured in Saturday's game against Detroit. His move to the IR list will sideline him for at least the next four games. Lemieux has three assists, 15 shots on goal and 42 hits in 15 games this season. In a corresponding move, the Kings brought up Lias Andersson from the minors Sunday.

Lemieux (undisclosed) was injured in Saturday's game against Detroit, Dan Greenspan of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lemieux was unable to return to the contest after delivering a hit to Red Wings forward Adam Erne during the second period. "I think he's probably going to be out for a little while, but I can't give you any more than that," coach Todd McLellan said following the game. It doesn't sound like Lemieux will be available for Monday's matchup against Calgary.

Lemieux notched an assist, four hits and two PIM in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Jets.

EDGE Analysis

Lemieux logged his third assist of the season with a secondary helper on a Blake Lizotte goal. The 26-year-old Lemieux continues to provide more pain than scoring punch with 22 hits and 17 PIM in addition to 11 shots on net and a minus-2 rating through eight contests. Given his fairly replaceable skill set, he could be a healthy scratch on occasion, though the Kings likely value his toughness.

Lemieux registered an assist and two PIM in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Lemieux fed a pass to Matt Roy for a goal at 13:00 of the third period. The assist was Lemieux's second in four contests this season. The bruising winger has added 11 PIM, three shots on net, five hits and a minus-1 rating. He'll rarely player higher than the fourth line, so he's a non-factor for most fantasy managers given his limited skill set on offense.

Lemieux will draw into the Kings lineup Thursday when they face the Kraken, Eric Stephens of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lemieux was a healthy scratch Tuesday and will replace the ailing Viktor Arvidsson (illness) in the lineup. Lemieux will add toughness Thursday as he had 97 PIM and 122 hits in 50 games last season.

Lemieux signed a one-year, $1.35 million contract extension with the Kings on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

After not receiving a qualifying offer and becoming an unrestricted free agent, Lemieux has re-signed with LA at a slightly lower price tag. The 26-year-old winger drew into 50 games with the Kings last season, picking up eight goals, 13 points, 97 PIM and 122 hits while averaging 10:45 of ice time per contest. The 26-year-old winger will likely post similar numbers in 2022-23, so he won't be a viable fantasy option in most formats.

Lemieux was not issued a qualifying offer from the Kings on Monday, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lemieux will become an unrestricted free agent Wednesday after tallying 13 points in 50 games last season. He also dished out 122 hits while averaging 10:65 of ice time. The 26-year-old could garner some interest as a cheap depth forward this offseason.

Lemieux notched an assist, three hits and two PIM in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Lemieux has picked up assists in each of the last two games, seeing a slightly larger role as the Kings rested their top-six forwards. The agitating winger ends the regular season with 13 points, 122 hits, 97 PIM, 65 shots on net and a plus-1 rating through 50 contests. If he's in the lineup during the playoffs, he'll likely be confined to a fourth-line assignment.

Lemieux (lower body) has been activated off injured reserve ahead of Thursday's game versus Edmonton.

EDGE Analysis

Lemieux should slot into a bottom-six role against the Oilers following his one-month absence. He's picked up 11 points, 86 PIM and 108 hits through 44 games this campaign.
