Clifford played an active game on the offensive end Thursday, firing five shots on net and scoring his first goal of the season in a 5-2 loss to the Isles.

EDGE Analysis

Not many Kings showed up with impressive efforts in this one, but Clifford certainly made an impact despite enjoying only 9:50 of ice time. He's been surprisingly involved offensively of late, firing 12 shots on goal over the last three games. Clifford isn't just a tough guy -- he shows some touch here and there, and he's capable of using his size to good effect. Still, he remains stuck in a fourth-line role.
