Shore left Thursday's game against Toronto with an upper-body injury and is questionable to return, Helene Elliott of the LA Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
The forward only has three points in his last 16 games, including his shortened night Thursday. He's not worth a start in most fantasy formats, healthy or not, unless he heats up.

Shore notched a goal and an assist during Monday's overtime loss to Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Through 25 games since the calendar flipped to 2017, Shore has just two goals and five points, and Monday's multi-point showing was his first of the year. Shore is playing a depth role and rarely finding the scoresheet, so the 24-year-old center shouldn't be counted on in any fantasy setting.

Shore scored his third goal of the year in the third period of Thursday's 3-1 defeat in Edmonton.
EDGE Analysis
It was a huge tally at the time, as Shore's top-shelf shot off a turnover tied the game at 1-1. He's found twine twice in the last four games, but the 24-year-old is still well out on the fringes of fantasy relevance even in super-deep formats, considering that he's accumulated only seven points and 39 shots in 35 contests. Shore sees bottom-six minutes with nearly no power-play time, and that doesn't appear likely to change anytime soon.

Shore will be a healthy scratch Sunday against the Blackhawks, Lisa Dillman of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Shore has played in all eight games this season for the Kings, recording a single assist and 10 shots on goal while averaging 11:51 of ice time. Needless to say, his absence from Sunday's tilt with the Blackhawks shouldn't many ripples in fantasy circles.

Shore (undisclosed) has been cleared to return Wednesday against the Sharks, LA Kings Insider Jon Rosen reports.
EDGE Analysis
Shore's inclusion in the lineup Wednesday will add some much needed depth, but owners may not want to utilize him when you consider he tallied just 10 points in 68 outings last season. The 24-year-old is the type of gritty, hard-working player every team needs, but has limited fantasy value and can likely be left off most lineups.

Shore sustained an undisclosed injury in Friday's preseason loss to the Avalanche, LA Kings Insider reports.
EDGE Analysis
Shore was taking his second shift when he landed awkwardly on the ice. The Kings' third-round draft selection of 2011 will undergo further evaluation, but he should be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Shore went plus-2 with an assist and three hits in Saturday's 2-1 overtime victory over Nashville.
EDGE Analysis
Shore is not a realistic fantasy option, but it was the first time this year that he went above plus-1. The 23-year-old has three points in his last 10 games -- with nine tallies on the season -- leaving him on waivers in almost all formats.

Shore was reassigned to AHL Manchester on Sunday, Elliott Teaford of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.
With the Kings' regular-season coming to an end over a week ago, Shore will return to the minors to help Manchester during the Calder Cup Playoffs. Shore provided a goal and seven assists over his 34 games with the Kings in 2014-15.

In his 28th game at the NHL level, Shore finally recorded his first goal, notching the Kings' first tally in a 3-2 win over the Islanders on Thursday.
Shore didn't exactly pile up the assists in that span, as he only owns five of those. However, with 20 goals and 42 points at the AHL level this year, the 22-year-old former third-round pick (2011) has a promising fantasy future and should be snatched up in dynasty formats.

Shore registered an assist and three shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Oilers.
The 22-year-old is still searching for his first NHL goal through 17 games, but probably won't get many opportunities to achieve that feat as a member of the Kings' fourth line. He's averaging only 9:54 of ice time per game and probably isn't in line to gain any additional duties in the near future.
