Moverare (personal) has been activated off the non-roster list Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Moverare has spent more time in the press box as a healthy scratch this season than actually on the bench, logging just 15 games. In those outings, the 27-year-old defenseman has failed to get on the scoresheet, chipping in seven shots, three hits and 12 blocks while averaging 8:47 of ice time.

Moverare (personal) was designated as a non-roster player Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Moverare has been a frequent healthy scratch this season -- he has no points while averaging 8:47 of ice time over 15 appearances. Angus Booth, who was recalled from AHL Ontario ahead of Monday's game against the Avalanche, is poised to make his NHL debut on the third pairing as a result of Moverare and Drew Doughty (lower body) being unavailable.

Moverare was scratched for the 13th straight game in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Lightning.
EDGE Analysis
Moverare failed to log a point in seven games between Nov. 17 and Dec. 2 during Drew Doughty's absence with a lower-body injury. Since Doughty returned, Moverare has been stuck in the press box, and it'll likely take another injury on the blue line for the 27-year-old to draw back in. He has no points, four shots on net, five blocked shots, three hits and a minus-2 rating over eight outings this season.

Moverare posted two hits, two blocked shots and a minus-1 rating over 10:19 of ice time in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
This was Moverare's second appearance of the season. The Kings have been mostly set on defense so far, leaving the 27-year-old with little opportunity to check in. That will change during Drew Doughty's (lower body) absence, which has the veteran defenseman week-to-week. Still, Moverare will be heavily sheltered in a third-pairing role, so don't expect much offense from him.

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.
