Gavrikov scored a goal on two shots, dished an assist, added two PIM and went plus-2 in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Gavrikov has three point over two outings in February after going 16 games without a point. The 29-year-old defenseman has remained in a top-pairing role alongside Drew Doughty, though Mikey Anderson (finger) has missed a couple of games and could cause the defense pairings to be mixed when he returns. Gavrikov now has three goals, 19 points, 68 shots on net, 103 blocked shots and a plus-11 rating across 51 appearances.

Gavrikov earned an assist in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Hurricanes.
EDGE Analysis
Gavrikov's helper ended a 16-game point drought for the defenseman. In that span, he went minus-9 with 24 shots on net and 33 blocked shots. The 29-year-old is frequently better at the defensive aspects of the game, so it's not unusual for his scoring contributions to be spotty. He's at 17 points, 66 shots on net, 102 blocks and a plus-9 rating over 50 appearances in 2024-25.

Gavrikov's point drought reached 11 games in Monday's 5-1 loss to the Penguins.
EDGE Analysis
In that span, Gavrikov has a minus-6 rating, nine shots on net, seven hits and 21 blocked shots. The 29-year-old defenseman is almost always a steady source of blocks, but this is a poor stretch of play for him. He's at 16 points, 51 shots on net, 89 blocks and a plus-11 rating across 44 appearances. Gavrikov is a virtual lock for top-four minutes, but his role could shrink slightly once Drew Doughty (ankle) is ready to make his season debut, which could happen before the end of January.

Gavrikov logged two assists and four blocked shots in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Flyers.
EDGE Analysis
Gavrikov has logged back-to-back two-assist efforts to end a five-game slump. The 29-year-old defenseman continues to see big minutes on the top pairing alongside Mikey Anderson, but they form more of a shutdown duo than a significant scoring threat. Gavrikov has 15 points, 39 shots on net, 67 blocked shots and a plus-17 rating through 32 appearances, putting him on pace for a career year. That level of production is worth considering in fantasy, though the rest of the Kings' blueliners figure to take a drop in value once Drew Doughty (ankle) makes his season debut at some point in January.

Gavrikov picked up two assists in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Penguins on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Gavrikov snapped a five-game point drought with the helpers, giving him 13 points, including 11 assists, in 31 games this season. He won't push for a new career mark, but Gavrikov could flirt with 30 points this season. He's also on track for a career high in blocks -- he will approach 170 if he maintains this pace and stays healthy in the process.

Gavrikov picked up two assists Saturday in a 5-2 win over the Senators.
EDGE Analysis
He also earned two blocks and fired two shots in Saturday's contest. Gavrikov isn't typically known for offense, but he is on a near 30-point and 180-block pace this campaign. He has notched two goals and six helpers across his last 13 outings.

Gavrikov notched an assist, two hits, three blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Gavrikov helped out on Adrian Kempe's empty-net tally. This was just the second helper over the last seven games for Gavrikov, though offense isn't a huge part of his playing style. The 29-year-old defenseman has contributed nine points, a plus-11 rating, 26 shots on net, 13 hits and 49 blocked shots through 23 outings in a top-four role this season.

Gavrikov notched an assist and two shots on goal in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Red Wings.
EDGE Analysis
Gavrikov helped out on Adrian Kempe's goal 15 seconds into the third period. With five points over eight contests in November, Gavrikov has been surprisingly effective on offense lately. The 28-year-old blueliner is up to two goals, six assists, 24 shots on net, 39 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating through 19 outings overall. Gavrikov should continue to see significant minutes in a top-four role, though it wouldn't be surprising for most of his contributions to come in a non-scoring capacity.

Gavrikov scored a goal, blocked three shots and went plus-2 in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
EDGE Analysis
Gavrikov has produced a surprising four-game point streak, which includes him scoring in each of the last two contests. His tally Saturday tied the game at 1-1 in the second period. Gavrikov is up to seven points, 21 shots on net, 35 blocked shots, six PIM and a plus-12 rating through 16 outings. This scoring pace won't last, but the 28-year-old blueliner looks set to be a reliable source of blocks and a positive plus-minus rating in 2024-25.

Gavrikov scored a goal on two shots and added two PIM in Thursday's 4-2 loss to the Canucks.
EDGE Analysis
Gavrikov has a goal and two assists, as well as a plus-4 rating, over his last three contests. The 28-year-old defenseman is up to six points, 20 shots on net, 32 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating through 15 games overall. Gavrikov could be asked to do a bit more if Mikey Anderson (upper body) misses additional time following his early exit from Thursday's game.
