Burroughs notched an assist and three hits in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Burroughs set up a Quinton Byfield tally early in the first period. This was Burroughs' first appearance since March 3, as he filled in due to the absences of Joel Edmundson (upper body) and Drew Doughty (ankle). The Kings have clinched a playoff spot, and while there's still seeding to play for, they'll likely be cautious with any injuries for the rest of the regular season. Burroughs could see more time, but he has just three assists, five shots on net, 39 hits, 31 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 30 contests, so he's not a factor in most fantasy formats.

Burroughs was scratched for the seventh time in nine games since the 4 Nations Face-Off break when he sat out Sunday's 6-5 win over the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Burroughs has had trouble staying in the lineup since late January, and with the Kings regularly using six blueliners lately, there doesn't look to be a spot for him any time soon. The 29-year-old has produced just two assists with five shots on net, 36 hits, 31 PIM and a plus-2 rating over 29 appearances. For now, the Kings will entrust third-pairing spots to Jordan Spence and Brandt Clarke, while Jacob Moverare is also awaiting another chance to check in on defense.

Burroughs was scratched for the eighth straight game in Friday's 5-4 shootout win over the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Burroughs played regularly when the Kings deployed seven defensemen for a couple of months. The return of Drew Doughty from an ankle injury and the return to a six-blueliner formation have combined to pinch both Burroughs and Andreas Englund out of the lineup, even in the absence of Mikey Anderson (finger). The Kings currently have nine defensemen on the roster, and when they get to full health, Burroughs or Englund could be at risk of landing on waivers. Burroughs is stuck on two assists with 34 hits and 31 PIM over 26 outings this season.

Burroughs (personal) was back on the ice Monday after he was re-added to the Kings' roster.

EDGE Analysis

Burroughs was designated a non-roster player for personal reasons Saturday but looks to be back with the club. The 29-year-old blueliner has been far from a lock for the lineup this season, playing in just 20 games so far this year. In those appearances, Burroughs has notched two assists, 31 hits and three shots on goal while averaging a mere 8:39 of ice time.

Burroughs (personal) was designated non-roster playing status Saturday, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Kings activated Trevor Moore (upper body) and Trevor Lewis (lower body) from injured reserve while loaning Andre Lee to AHL Ontario on Saturday in corresponding moves. Burroughs won't play against Tampa Bay on Saturday due to the birth of his child but could return to the lineup versus Calgary on Wednesday. He has two assists, three shots on goal, eight blocked shots and 31 hits in 20 appearances this season.

Burroughs picked up an assist and three hits in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Burroughs dressed as a seventh defenseman and saw just 4:50 of ice time over six shifts. He was able to make an impact in the limited time, setting up Joel Edmundson's game-tying goal in the second period. Burroughs hadn't played since Nov. 7, and he's unlikely to have a role when the Kings use a traditional six-blueliner arrangement. The 29-year-old is up to two helpers, three shots on net, 23 hits, five blocked shots, 20 PIM and a plus-3 rating through nine appearances.

Burroughs was scratched for Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Blackhawks, the seventh time in the last eight games he's sat out.

EDGE Analysis

Burroughs played regularly early in the season, earning one assist over the first four games. He's one of three healthy right-shot defensemen on the roster, but the Kings have opted to dress four left-handed blueliners lately, with Andreas Englund maintaining a third-pairing role over Burroughs and Caleb Jones. The 29-year-old Burroughs has added two shots on net, 10 hits, 11 PIM, four blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in five appearances. Even when he plays, he has little to offer outside of toughness.

Burroughs was acquired by the Kings from the Sharks on Thursday in exchange for Carl Grundstrom.

EDGE Analysis

Burroughs had two goals, eight points, 71 PIM, 233 hits and 134 blocks in 73 contests with San Jose in 2023-24. He has two seasons remaining on his three-year, $3.3 million contract. Although the 28-year-old won't make much of an offensive impact with LA, the gritty blueliner figures to plug in nicely on the Kings' third pairing. While his minus-42 rating was the fifth worst in the league, the move to LA should have a massive positive impact on him in that category.

Burroughs scored a goal on four shots, doled out six hits, blocked three shots, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Kraken.

EDGE Analysis

Burroughs snapped a 23-game point drought with the tally, which was his first career game-winner. The 28-year-old defenseman is up to eight points, 77 shots on net, 71 PIM, 221 hits and 127 blocked shots through 70 contests. The Sharks have given him a steady role for the first time in his career, but his physicality is his best contribution for fantasy purposes, as his offense remains limited.

Burroughs posted a power-play assist, three hits, two blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Burroughs has two helpers over his last three games. He assisted on the first of Luke Kunin's two goals in this contest. Burroughs has moved around the Sharks' lineup a lot this season, but it appears he's stuck in a bottom-four role for now. He's at seven points, 50 shots on net, 128 hits, 88 blocked shots, 51 PIM and a minus-27 rating through 46 appearances.
