Lemieux scored a goal and added four hits in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Wild.

EDGE Analysis

Lemieux, in his first game back from a five-game suspension for biting Brady Tkachuk on Nov. 27, deposited the game-winner for the Kings at 9:15 of the third period. The Wild showed their displeasure by giving him a spray from the water bottles as he passed the bench. Lemieux isn't known for much offense, but he's up to five goals, an assist, 40 hits, 32 PIM and 20 shots on net through 15 appearances. He'll have to stay productive -- and out of trouble -- to avoid losing his place in the lineup.

Lemieux was suspended for five games for biting the Senators' Brady Tkachuk.

EDGE Analysis

Lemieux was offered an in-person hearing, but the five-game result on the suspension makes it a non-appealable ruling. The 25-year-old will be out until Dec. 11 versus the Wild, though his place in the lineup is far from secure once he returns.

Lemieux's in-person hearing with the Department of Player Safety is expected to occur Tuesday, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

The fact that Lemieux is facing an in-person hearing over an alleged biting incident means he will almost certainly be facing an extended suspension, possibly longer than six games. At this point, fantasy players should probably be planning on the winger being ineligible for at least Tuesday's clash with Anaheim.

Lemieux was offered an in-person hearing for biting Brady Tkachuk, Sportsnet's Chris Johnston reports.

EDGE Analysis

An in-person hearing means Lemieux could be suspended six games or more for biting the Ottawa forward. NHL Player Safety has yet to announce when the hearing will take place.

Lemieux was ejected from Saturday's game against Ottawa after coming to the aid of a teammate, and was later accused of biting the Senators' Brady Tkachuk, reports Sportsnet.ca.

EDGE Analysis

Tkachuk went off after game, calling Lemieux "a complete brick head." Lemieux had jumped into the fray when Tkachuk began shoving Blake LIzotte following a whistle. Tkachuk showed his bloody hand to the officials when he was heading to the penalty box. The two have a history and so do their fathers. Keith Tkachuk and Claude Lemieux dropped their gloves in the 1996 World Cup of Hockey. A suspension could be coming if the accusation is confirmed.

Lemieux scored a goal on two shots, logged five hits and added two PIM in Sunday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Coyotes.

EDGE Analysis

Lemieux converted on a pass from Blake Lizotte after a Coyotes turnover early in the second period. The 25-year-old Lemieux is up to four goals, one assist, 16 shots on net, 33 hits, 18 PIM and a plus-5 rating while filling a fourth-line role in his 12 appearances this season.

Lemieux scored a goal and an assist in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old has never been a big offensive threat, but he's been giving the Kings a little boost off the fourth line lately. Over his last five games, Lemieux has three goals and four points, accounting for all his production on the season.

Lemieux (COVID-19 protocols) has been activated from injured reserve after clearing the protocols.

EDGE Analysis

Lemieux's activation indicates he'll be ready to play fairly soon. The 25-year-old logged two hits and a fighting major in the season opener versus the Golden Knights before he was sidelined. He should return to a bottom-six role once he rejoins the lineup.

Lemieux was placed on the NHL's non-roster/COVID-19 list Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Lemieux will need to submit a pair of negative COVID-19 tests before rejoining the Kings. The 25-year-old winger picked up five PIM and two hits in 11:14 of ice time in his season debut Thursday versus Vegas.

Lemieux scored a goal and added three hits in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

Lemieux put the Kings ahead just 2:12 into the game, but Mikko Rantanen quickly responded for the Avalanche. The 25-year-old Lemieux has four goals, seven helpers, 62 PIM, 95 hits and 47 shots on net through 45 games between the Kings and the Rangers this season.
