Anderson (finger) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson will miss his fourth straight game against Anaheim on Saturday. He could return to action after the 4 Nations Face-Off. Anderson has five goals, 14 points, 58 shots on net, 83 blocked shots and 68 hits across 49 appearances this season. The Kings recalled Pheonix Copley from AHL Ontario on an emergency basis in a corresponding move because Darcy Kuemper (personal) will miss Saturday's game against the Ducks.

Anderson (finger) will miss Saturday's tilt versus Anaheim, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson will miss his fourth straight game but could return versus Utah on Feb. 22 following the break for the 4 Nations Face-Off. Anderson has five goals, nine assists, 68 hits and 83 blocked shots across 49 appearances this season. Once Anderson is ready to return, Brandt Clarke could be a healthy scratch.

Anderson (finger) won't play Friday versus the Stars, Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson is set for his third straight absence due to the injury. He hasn't been ruled out for Saturday's game versus the Ducks, but at this point, it's doubtful the Kings rush him back with a two-week break on the horizon. Brandt Clarke will remain in the lineup in Anderson's absence.

Anderson (finger) will be sidelined for Wednesday's clash with Montreal, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson will miss his second straight contest due to his finger injury and could be in danger of remaining on the shelf until after the international break. Considering the blueliner has managed just one point in his last 11 outings, few fantasy players will be significantly impacted by his absence. In the meantime, Jacob Moverare and Jordan Spence figure to make up the third pairing.

Anderson will likely miss Saturday's matchup with Carolina due to a finger injury but is considered day-to-day, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson appears to have avoided the worst possible outcome, though he could still miss some time. Based on reports, it seems at worst the blueliner will be out until after the 4 Nations Face-Off. Looking ahead to Saturday, Brandt Clarke seems the strongest candidate to slot into the lineup -- though Andreas Englund and Kyle Burroughs should also be in contention.

Head coach Jim Hiller didn't have an update on Anderson's (upper body) status after Thursday's game versus the Lightning, but the coach expressed concern, Dennis Bernstein of The Fourth Period reports.

EDGE Analysis

Any level of concern makes it unlikely Anderson will be available for the end of the Kings' road trip Saturday against the Hurricanes. If that's the case, the Kings still have three extra blueliners on the roster, so Brandt Clarke, Kyle Burroughs or Andreas Englund would be options to draw into the lineup.

Anderson (upper body) won't return to Thursday's game versus the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson was injured late in the first period. The 25-year-old should be considered day-to-day until more information is available. If he ends up missing time, his absence could allow Brandt Clarke to get back in the lineup.

Anderson notched an assist and two blocked shots in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Canucks.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson has four points over six outings in January, bucking the trend of the Kings' low-scoring offense this month. The 25-year-old defenseman helped out on the second of Alex Turcotte's tallies in this contest. Anderson is up to 14 points, 51 shots on net, 71 blocked shots, 63 hits and a plus-12 rating through 42 appearances. He's reached the 20-point mark just once in his career, but it's very much in play for Anderson in 2024-25.

Anderson scored a goal on five shots, blocked five shots and added three hits in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Lightning.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson has three points over two games to begin January, matching his output from all of December. He's scored at least one goal in each month of the campaign so far, which is solid work for a defensive blueliner. The 25-year-old has tied his career high with five goals while adding eight assists, 47 shots on net, 59 hits, 64 blocked shots, 16 PIM and a plus-12 rating over 38 appearances this season.

Anderson recorded two assists in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Anderson helped out on third-period tallies by Quinton Byfield and Adrian Kempe. This was Anderson's third multi-point effort of the season, and it ended his six-game point drought. The 25-year-old defenseman remains in a shutdown role on the top pairing, but he's managed a respectable 12 points with 42 shots on net, 56 hits, 59 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating over 37 appearances this season.
