Armia scored a goal on two shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Armia has scored three goals and added an assist over his last four games. The 32-year-old winger continues to fill a third-line spot, and he's doing well to provide a little grit and some depth scoring. He's now at 13 goals, 25 points, 86 shots on net, 71 hits, 36 blocked shots, 30 PIM and a plus-3 rating over 63 outings this season. Armia has posted at least 25 points in three straight seasons after missing the 20-point mark in the three years before that.

Armia scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Monday's 3-2 shootout win over the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Armia has three points, eight shots on net and four hits over his last three games. The 32-year-old continues to fill a third-line role for the Kings. He's up to 24 points, 84 shots on net, 70 hits, 36 blocked shots, 30 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 62 appearances, so he may have some fantasy value in deep formats.

Armia scored a goal on four shots, dished an assist and added three hits in Thursday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Predators.
EDGE Analysis
Armia hadn't scored since Jan. 16 versus the Ducks. The 32-year-old winger is still playing in a third-line role for the Kings, but he's not a consistent scorer from that spot. He's now at 11 goals, 23 points, 80 shots on net, 69 hits, 33 blocked shots, 28 PIM and a plus-1 rating over 60 appearances this season.

Armia notched an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Flames.
EDGE Analysis
Armia missed 10 games due to an upper-body injury just after the Olympic break, and he's been back in action for three contests. The 32-year-old winger is filling a bottom-six role, so his offense is likely to remain limited. He has 21 points, 68 shots on net, 59 hits, 32 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 56 appearances.

Armia (upper body) will be activated off injured reserve and play Saturday versus Buffalo, per Dennis Bernstein of The Fourth Period.
EDGE Analysis
Armia hasn't been in the lineup since Feb. 26. He has 10 goals and 20 points in 53 outings in 2025-26. Armia will probably serve in a middle-six capacity, and his return might lead to Taylor Ward being a healthy scratch Saturday.

Armia (upper body) won't be in action versus the Flyers on Thursday but could return for Saturday's clash with Buffalo, Alexander Legget of Mayors Manor reports.
EDGE Analysis
Armia will be shelved for his 10th straight game due to his lingering upper-body issue. Prior to his absence, the veteran forward was struggling to produce and was stuck in an 11-game goal drought during which he generated just two assists. Once given the all-clear, Armia should slot into a bottom-six role but could factor on the power play.
