Clifford (upper body) won't play Saturday against San Jose.

EDGE Analysis

Clifford will miss a sixth consecutive game Saturday and remains without a clear-cut timetable for his return to game action. LA should release another update on the physical winger's status once he's deemed fit to play.

Clifford (upper body) still needs to pass some additional testing before he'll be able to return, Curtis Zupke of the Los Angeles Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

At this point, it seems pretty unlikely that Clifford will be available against the Jets on Tuesday. Based on the results of the test, perhaps the winger will be ready to go for the Kings' upcoming back-to-back on Saturday and Sunday versus the Sharks and Golden Knights, respectively.

Clifford (upper body) won't travel with the Kings on their upcoming four-game road trip, Lisa Dillman of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was already known that Clifford was out Monday against the Red Wings, but this news extends his timeline to return. The sense is that the 27-year-old is dealing with a potential concussion, and he has a history of concussions, which is concerning. His next chance to return is next Tuesday against the Jets.

Clifford (upper body) is out for the remainder of Saturday night's game, Jon Rosen of Fox Sports West reports.

EDGE Analysis

Clifford took a nasty open-ice hit, appearing to take a shot to the head in the process. The team is calling it an upper-body injury, and the 27-year-old will not return to the ice against the Golden Knights. The bottom-six forward should be re-evaluated in the coming days, with LA's next game coming Monday versus the Red Wings.

Clifford scored a goal while taking three shots during Sunday's 2-0 win over Carolina.

EDGE Analysis

Clifford added a late insurance goal for the Kings, scoring an empty net goal to guarantee victory on Sunday. Clifford is not much of an option for fantasy owners as it was his fourth goal in 25 games this season.

Clifford has been fined $4,301.08, the maximum allowable under the CBA, for kneeing Minnesota's Jordan Greenway during Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Wild, John Shannon of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Luckily for Clifford and the Kings, the 27-year-old winger was able to avoid a suspension for his questionable hit on Greenway. He'll slot into his usual bottom-six role when LA faces the Rangers on Sunday.

Clifford registered the Kings only goal of Thursday's 4-1 defeat to Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

Clifford used his speed to pick off an attempted pass by the Wild and then rifled the puck past netminder Devan Dubnyk. The tally was the first point of the 2018-19 campaign for the winger, although his limited production shouldn't come as a shock considering he is logging a mere 8:39 of ice time per game -- nearly two minutes fewer than his 2017-18 average (10:33).

Clifford hasn't found his way to the sin bin or posted anything positive on the stat sheet this season, failing to score through two games.

EDGE Analysis

Clifford normally averages one penalty minute a game, but when you don't contribute on the stat sheet in other ways, that's not enough to justify a roster spot. Clifford has never topped 15 points in a season, and this year doesn't look like it will change that. There isn't really a reason to have Clifford on your radar right now.

Clifford went scoreless while averaging just 8:45 of ice time per contest in the Kings first-round sweep by the Golden Knights.

EDGE Analysis

Clifford isn't known for his offensive production, so the fact that he was held scoreless during the Kings' brief postseason run doesn't come as much of a surprise. The 27-year-old winger's complete lack of offensive upside keeps him from being a viable option in all fantasy formats that don't heavily reward hits and PIM, so most owners don't need to have Clifford on their radars heading into next season's drafts.

Clifford posted a goal, two shots, four penalty minutes, and two shots during Thursday's 3-1 over the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Clifford would likely be in the midst of a career season if he had not missed 28 games with an upper-body injury earlier in the season. The 27-year-old winger has managed five goals and eight points in 35 games but has chipped in 81 hits during that time so may have some fantasy value in deep leagues where the physical nature of his play is rewarded.
