Armia scored a shorthanded goal on two shots in Friday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Bruins.
EDGE Analysis
Armia's last two goals have been shorties, and they've come over the last two games. The winger is up to five tallies, three of which have come shorthanded, and 10 points through 22 appearances. He's added 27 shots on net, 21 hits, 12 PIM and a plus-3 rating. Armia's ability to play in tough defensive situations is good to keep him in the lineup, but fantasy managers can likely find better options in most formats.

Armia scored a shorthanded goal on four shots, added two PIM and logged two hits in Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Sharks.
EDGE Analysis
Armia has tallied twice over the last five games. The veteran winger is up to four goals on the season, and two have been shorthanded tallies. The 32-year-old is at nine points, 25 shots on net, 21 hits, 12 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 21 appearances. He's filled a variety of roles, but Armia's playing style is often best suited for bottom-six usage.

Armia scored a goal and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
The Kings have listed Armia on the top line in recent games. He has two points over four contests in that span, but he's still averaged just 12:40 of ice time in those games, so he hasn't really gained additional usage. The winger has been steady as a depth forward this year with eight points, 19 shots on net, 15 hits, 10 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 17 outings.

Armia scored a shorthanded goal into an empty net and added two hits in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Armia's tally came right at the end of a penalty kill for the Kings. The 32-year-old winger has been productive on this road trip, earning three points over his last two games, which were in Nashville and Chicago. Armia is up to two goals, four assists, 16 shots on net, 11 hits, eight PIM and a plus-2 rating through 10 appearances. He's only ever reached the 30-point mark once in his career, so it's probably asking too much for him to maintain his recent success in the long run.

Armia scored a goal on three shots and added an assist in Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Armia's first goal of the season tied the game at 2-2 early in the second period. He also set up a Corey Perry tally in that frame. Through nine outings, Armia is up to five points, 15 shots on net, nine hits, eight PIM and a plus-1 rating. The 32-year-old winger is likely to spend most of his time in a bottom-six role, though he has seen power-play time on the second unit, which could help him sustain a higher level of offense than usual.

Armia notched an assist and two shots on goal in Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Armia is off to a solid start with the Kings, earning two assists over four games. He began on the fourth line, but he drew a second-line assignment Monday and saw 15:01 of ice time. The veteran winger has added eight shots on net, five hits and a plus-1 rating. It's unclear if he'll stick higher in the lineup, but he's worth keeping an eye on if his offense remains steady.

Armia signed a two-year, $5 million contract with Los Angeles on Tuesday, Pierre LeBrun of TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Armia ended the 2024-25 campaign, including the playoffs, mired in a 24-game goal drought during which he managed a mere 14 shots on net. Despite the end-of-the-year slump, Armia still managed to generate 29 points in 81 regular-season tilts. With the Kings, the Finn will likely slot into a bottom-six role but could be tapped for a spot on the No. 2 power-play unit.

Armia registered an assist in Friday's 6-3 win over the Capitals in Game 3.
EDGE Analysis
Armia continues to see bottom-six minutes, though he was up to 15:18 of ice time Friday to cover for the absence of Patrik Laine (upper body). The 31-year-old Armia is a defensively reliable forward, though he can still chip in some offense. He has a helper, three shots on net, three hits and a plus-1 rating over three playoff outings after a regular season of 29 points, 104 shots, 87 hits and a minus-2 rating across 81 appearances.

Armia logged two assists and two shots on goal in Monday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Blackhawks.
EDGE Analysis
Armia made the most of a team-low 6:52 of ice time, assisting on first-period goals by Alex Newhook and Ivan Demidov. With four helpers over his last seven outings, Armia has bounced back after a rough March. Overall, the winger has 29 points -- one off his career high -- while adding 103 shots on net, 87 hits, 34 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating across a personal-best 80 appearances.

Armia (arm) is expected to play against Florida on Saturday, Marc Dumont of Montreal Hockey Now reports.
EDGE Analysis
Armia's return from a one-game absence will probably result in Michael Pezzetta being a healthy scratch versus the Panthers. The 31-year-old Armia has 11 goals, 25 points, 85 hits and 94 shots on net through 64 appearances this season.
