Anderson posted an assist in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Coyotes.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson's shot attempt in the third period was tipped in by Gabriel Vilardi, cutting the deficit to one goal. That's as close as the Kings got, but it was another solid effort from Anderson. The 21-year-old has five helpers, 26 blocked shots, 24 hits and eight PIM in 19 outings. He's seen playing time alongside Drew Doughty at even strength, so there's a little extra scoring potential in store for Anderson.

Anderson (lower body) will not be available for Friday's contest against Minnesota, Zach Dooley of LA Kings Insider reports.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson will miss a second straight contest while dealing with a lower-body injury. The 21-year-old blueliner has four assists through 17 games on the year. Without a timetable to return yet, he'll be questionable for Saturday's rematch with the Wild.

Anderson (lower body) will not play Wednesday versus the Blues.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson's absence comes as a bit of a surprise, as there was no indication he'd miss the contest. With the 21-year-old blueliner sidelined, Olli Maatta ascends to the top pairing and Kurtis MacDermid enters the lineup. Anderson will try to be ready for Friday's game versus the Wild.

Anderson recorded an assist, two PIM and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Wild.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson had the secondary helper on Dustin Brown's third-period marker. The 21-year-old Anderson has partnered with Drew Doughty on the top pairing in recent games -- it's a solid duo on the Kings' blue line, but it hasn't led to much offense for Anderson. The Minnesota native has just three assists, eight PIM, 21 blocked shots and 15 hits through 14 contests this season.

Anderson recorded an assist, two blocked shots and two PIM in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Golden Knights.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson picked up the secondary helper on Anze Kopitar's first-period tally. Through 11 games, offense has been hard to find for Anderson, who has only two assists. He's added five shots on net, 16 blocked shots and 11 hits.

Anderson posted an assist and two PIM in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Avalanche.
EDGE Analysis
The helper on Andreas Athanasiou's third-period goal was Anderson's first point of the year. The fourth-round pick from 2017 has yet to attempt a shot on goal. Anderson has racked up five blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through three contests, but he'll need to be significantly more productive in the offensive zone to be worth a look in all but the deepest of fantasy formats. There's still a bit of a learning curve for the 21-year-old blueliner in his first full NHL season.

Anderson scored a goal and posted a plus-four rating in six games at the NHL level prior to the hiatus.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson looks like he could be a solid contributor for the Kings in the future, and he's only going to be 21 at the start of the 2020-21 season. Whether he starts with Los Angeles or AHL Ontario next year remains to be seen, but he appears a solid option for dynasty league owners to grab.
