Moverare notched an assist, two shots on goal, three hits and three blocked shots in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Kraken.
EDGE Analysis
Moverare ended a five-game point drought. The 26-year-old has played regularly late in the season, though that's been because Joel Edmundson (upper body) has been unavailable. If the Kings are at full health to begin the postseason, Moverare is likely to be out of the lineup unless the team goes back to deploying seven blueliners regularly. He's contributed eight points, 30 shots on net, 31 hits, 60 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 49 appearances.

Moverare notched an assist, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 8-1 win over the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
The Kings were missing three regulars at forward and opted to dress Moverare as a seventh defenseman rather than insert forward Akil Thomas. This ended a 12-game stretch without an appearance for Moverare, who was limited to one assist in 20 contests prior to his stint in the press box. The 26-year-old defenseman has seven points, 25 shots on net, 27 hits, 51 blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over 43 outings in 2024-25.

Moverare was scratched for the 12th game in a row in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Maple Leafs.
EDGE Analysis
Moverare has no path to playing time currently, as long as the Kings' defense stays healthy. He may be above Kyle Burroughs in the pecking order should an injury arise, especially on the left side of the defense. However, Mikey Anderson, Vladislav Gavrikov and Joel Edmundson are locked in as the Kings' preferred left-shot blueliners. That leaves Moverare stuck at six points, 25 shots on net, 25 hits and 50 blocked shots through 42 appearances this season.

Moverare notched an assist in Wednesday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Moverare ended a 15-game slump when he helped out on a Warren Foegele tally in the third period. Despite the lack of offense, Moverare has been able to hold onto a third-pairing role. Drew Doughty (lower body) missed Wednesday's game, but Moverare's place in the lineup has yet to be threatened even when the Kings are fully healthy. For the season, the 26-year-old is up to six points, 25 shots on net, 23 hits, 46 blocked shots and a plus-5 rating across 38 appearances.

Moverare continues to play a third-pairing role despite being held off the scoresheet for the 15th straight game Monday in a 5-2 win over the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
During his slump, the Kings have gotten to full strength on the blue line after Drew Doughty (ankle) and Mikey Anderson (finger) got healthy. The Kings have been able to keep Moverare in the lineup by using seven defensemen, though that comes with fellow left-shot Vladislav Gavrikov playing his off side. Moverare has five points, 25 shots on net, 46 blocked shots, 23 hits and a plus-4 rating over 37 appearances. Should the Kings opt to go back to six blueliners, he would be at risk of losing time, though Brandt Clarke and Jordan Spence could also be scratched in that scenario.

Moverare scored a goal and blocked three shots in Saturday's 2-1 loss to Calgary.
EDGE Analysis
Calgary got a little scrambled after a couple of failed clearing attempts. The second of those mistakes ended up on Moverare's stick, and he made no mistake on his lone shot of the game, putting the Kings ahead, 1-0, at 6:19 of the first period. The defenseman has four points over his last five contests, giving him five points, 17 shots on net, 21 hits, 28 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 22 outings this season. He's in no immediate danger of losing his place in the lineup, but his recent scoring success is unlikely to last.

Moverare notched an assist, three hits and two blocked shots in Friday's 2-1 overtime win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Moverare has logged a helper in three of his last four games. He also saw 19:11 of ice time Friday, far and away the most he's logged in any one contest this season. He's at four helpers, 16 shots on net, 21 hits, 25 blocked shots and a plus-6 rating over 21 appearances. Moverare's place in the lineup is likely to be safe until both of Joel Edmundson (undisclosed) and Drew Doughty (ankle) are cleared to play.

Moverare notched an assist and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
Moverare made the most of limited action (7:52 of ice time) by earning the secondary helper on Andre Lee's first NHL tally. This was Moverare's second straight game with a helper, and he has three assists over his last six outings. The 26-year-old blueliner has added 15 shots on net, 23 blocked shots, 18 hits and a plus-4 rating over 19 NHL contests this season, though his limited role on the third pairing gives him low fantasy value.

Moverare posted an assist and a plus-2 rating in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Moverare has two helpers over his last five contests. That's been enough for him to hold onto a third-pairing role over Andreas Englund, but Moverare could eventually lose his place in the lineup if the Kings go back to the traditional six-defensemen formation rather than the seven-defensemen approach they've taken for the better part of a month. The 26-year-old has two helpers, 13 shots on net, 18 hits, 23 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating over 18 appearances this season.

Moverare notched an assist, two PIM and a plus-3 rating in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
The helper was Moverare's first point of the campaign. The 26-year-old has been a regular in the lineup over the last month, and it helps that the Kings are using seven defensemen. That said, he's playing in a third-pairing role, averaging 12:20 of ice time per game. He's added 10 shots on net, 16 hits, 20 blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-1 rating through 14 appearances.
